## Synopsis

Sherlock & Daughter (2025-present) is a British and American co-produced mystery drama series created by Brendan Foley for The CW and discovery+. David Thewlis plays Sherlock Holmes, a brilliant but unsettled detective pulled into a sinister case that puts the lives of his friends at risk. Blu Hunt plays Amelia Rojas, an American who joins him while searching for her father after her mother's murder. Their partnership is uneasy, shaped by sharp differences in temperament and method, yet the two gradually discover a conspiracy that ties together the threats to their circle and the unsolved killing that brought Amelia to England. Ardal O'Hanlon and Mary O'Driscoll appear as the Halligans, and Fiona Glascott plays Lady Violet Somerset among the supporting figures. The series is a single season of eight episodes, with the investigative engine running through each installment as clues accumulate and loyalties are tested. Its tone is tense and intimate, with a measured atmosphere of unease and a steady undercurrent of grief. Fans of Sherlock, Elementary and Ripper Street will find resonance in its deductive puzzle-solving and its period-tinged crime world.
