An exciting new chapter is set to unfold in the world of detective drama as Harry King Television embarks on the pre-production phase of their upcoming series, True Sherlock. This captivating project draws inspiration from Nicholas Sercombe's book series, The Unexpurgated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. Scheduled to begin filming in the UK in January 2026, the first four episodes will bring these tales to life with feature-length storytelling. Casting has already begun to assemble a stellar lineup, including Oli Higginson as the legendary sleuth and Will Kemp portraying his arch-nemesis, Moriarty.

True Sherlock promises to delve deeper into the backstories of its iconic characters, offering audiences fresh insights into their origins. Questions long left unanswered may finally find resolution—such as the identity of Holmes' parents or how Mrs. Hudson met her husband. Each episode will also introduce renowned guest stars to play clients seeking the detective’s expertise. Behind the scenes, Nicholas Sercombe leads as showrunner, collaborating with producers Nigel Wooll, Mark Sandell, and Jon Turtle to ensure this adaptation resonates both with tradition and innovation. The inaugural story, titled "A Balls-Up in Bohemia," intertwines themes of intrigue, love, and personal dilemmas faced by its central figures.

The announcement of True Sherlock coincides with Harry King Television's expansion into unscripted content through formats like Curiosity. CEO Nicholas Sercombe expresses enthusiasm about reimagining Arthur Conan Doyle's timeless creations with modern sensibilities. By blending action, wit, and romance, the series aims not only to honor its literary roots but also engage contemporary viewers who crave depth and authenticity. As production progresses, anticipation builds for what promises to be an unforgettable journey into the heart of Baker Street's most celebrated resident.
