Young Sherlock Episodes 1-8 Drop: Release Date, Exact Times, and Where to Watch
The game is afoot: Young Sherlock unleashes episodes 1–8 soon, adapting Andrew Lane’s prequel novels inspired by Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary sleuth. After years of adult-era takes, fans finally get the origin story—here’s when it drops and where to watch.
Prime Video is turning back the clock on Baker Street. The streamer has locked in a date for Young Sherlock, a new series about Holmes before the deerstalker and violin, with most episodes directed by Guy Ritchie. Yes, that Guy Ritchie, who put Robert Downey Jr. through Victorian hellfire in those big-screen Sherlock movies. Different era, same chaotic energy.
Release plan
All eight episodes of Young Sherlock land on Wednesday, March 4, 2026. If you are the type who hits play the second something drops, here is when it goes live in the U.S.:
- Pacific Time: March 4, 2026 at 12:00 a.m.

Where to watch

What this version is doing
The show adapts Andrew Lane's Young Sherlock novels, which riff on Arthur Conan Doyle's icon from a fresh angle: a rough-around-the-edges prodigy stumbling into the habits and scars that will eventually make him Sherlock Holmes. Ritchie steering a younger, rawer Holmes is a smart fit, and the pitch leans into that scrappy origin-story vibe.
'Sherlock Holmes is a disgraced young man - raw and unfiltered - when he finds himself wrapped up in a murder case that threatens his liberty. His first-ever case unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy that changes his life forever.'
We have had every flavor of adult Sherlock at this point; seeing the legend trip into his legend feels like the right way to make the old boy feel new again.
