What is Young Sherlock all about?

The upcoming British series will explore Sherlock Holmes' teenage days when he was just an Oxford University student and got entangled in a murder mystery case that occurred on the very college campus. As the case unfolds, a huge conspiracy begins to unravel, which shapes him to become a master detective.

The story begins from Sherlock's 14-year-old life in 1868, when his father was posted to India, and he was sent to live with their relatives in Hampshire. He begins to solve crimes ranging from mysterious deaths in England to conspiracies in Russia and China at that young age.

As Andrew Lane's book focuses on how Sherlock acquired his skills, such as martial arts from a Chinese tutor and violin lessons from a musician, the series is also expected to showcase the same. According to reports, Young Sherlock is expected to reimagine Holmes and John Watson's first meeting as teenagers at a London boarding school, and how they join hands to solve murder mysteries together.
