Young Sheldon Gets an Unexpected Replacement by Guy Ritchie on Prime Video
It's going to be hard not to get them mixed up.
One thing that makes every TV show unique is the title. It should be catchy enough for viewers to remember and easy enough to roll off the tongue of fans in any conversation. The Big Bang Theory spinoff, Young Sheldon, hit the perfect spot, while also explaining to viewers what the show was about.
One of the newer TV shows in development on Amazon Prime Video, however, didn't weigh in the way that the show's title will be reminiscent of a completely different show. Young Sherlock, which could easily be called Young Sheldon's successor, is very likely to have some viewers confused.
What Will Young Sherlock Be About?
Developed by Amazon Prime Video, Young Sherlock will be a miniseries based on Andy Lane's Young Sherlock Holmes novels. The show will delve deep into the moments that made Sherlock Holmes the genius that so many people have grown to love, thanks to the wide variety of adaptations.
A couple of adaptations that stand out the most are Guy Ritchie 's Sherlock Holmes and Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows, released in 2009 and 2011 respectively. Starring Robert Downey Jr., the films quickly became the most adored version of the story by many fans.

The Young Sherlock series will also be directed by Ritchie, so viewers can expect the same quality in a different premise. Here's what the director had to say about his upcoming project:
“In Young Sherlock, we’re going to see an exhilarating new version of the detective everyone thinks they know in a way they’ve never imagined before. We’re going to crack open this enigmatic character, find out what makes him tick, and learn how he becomes the genius we all love,” he said.
The show will consist of 8 episodes and will be led by hero Fiennes Tiffin, previously known to viewers for his roles as Hardin Scott in the After series, a young Lord Voldemort, in the film Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, and Henry Hayes in Ritchie's latest film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare.
Currently, there is no news about the premiere date of the show, just as there is no news about the rest of the cast. If you are interested in seeing Young Sherlock on your screens, be sure to follow any upcoming updates.
