The series, written by Tom Bidwell (Watership Down, My Mad Fat Diary), who also is one of the executive producers, is a dark drama that follows troubled street teens who solve crimes for Royce Pierreson’s (Wanderlust) Doctor Watson and Henry Lloyd-Hughes’ (Killing Eve) Sherlock Holmes. When the crimes start to take a supernatural turn and dark powers emerge, the Irregulars, who are based on the Baker Street gang from the original Sherlock Holmes novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, come together to overtake greater forces.

The cast includes Thaddea Graham (The Letter For The King), Darci Shaw (The Bay), Jojo Macari (Harlots), Mckell David (Snatch, Harrison Osterfield (Catch 22), and Clarke Peters (The Wire).

Don’t expect the series to be exactly like the books—Bidwell is reimagining the Baker Street gang from Doyle’s novels.

“Our story focuses on the Irregulars, the gang themselves. It’s their story, their adventure. Sherlock Holmes is in the story, it’s his world, but he’s not the central focus. He plays a big part of it, don’t get me wrong, but it’s about the kids and their journeys,” Bidwell told Entertainment Weekly.

The series premiers on Netflix on March 26.

The new detective drama will be called The Irregulars. It will not tell the story of the great Sherlock Holmes but will tell the story of a gang of street urchins who follow clues and solve crimes, only for the “great” Holmes to take the credit.

Tom Bidwell is penning the script and he seems very excited to tell the story of the famous Sherlock Holmes from a whole new, unexplored angle.

“Sherlock Holmes [in Conan Doyle’s books] had a group of street kids he’d use to help him gather clues, so our series is what if Sherlock was a drug addict and a delinquent and the kids solve the whole case whilst he takes credit?,” Bidwell proposed to BBC Writers Room.

“It’s my dream project and my oldest idea (I’ve been pitching it for 10 years). Netflix is incredibly supportive of our vision for the show, and it’s allowing us to be very ambitious with the way we’re telling our stories.”

More details on The Irregulars when they are announced.
