Prime Video announced today that Young Sherlock has been renewed for Season 2. The news comes a month after the drama released its 8-episode freshman run. Through its first 28 days, the show has reached 45 million viewers and ranks among the top 10 Prime original seasons of all time.

"Young Sherlock has that rare magic - millions of fans around the world aren't just watching a detective story, they're falling in love with the origin of an icon," said Peter Friedlander, Head of Global Television, Amazon MGM Studios. "Guy Ritchie and Matthew Parkhill have cracked the code on making Sherlock's early years feel fresh, dangerous, and utterly addictive, and have introduced a compelling take on James Moriarty that sets the stage for what's to come. We can't wait to see where they take him next in Season Two."

An origin story of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's beloved detective, the series is an explosive reimagining of his early days. Sherlock Holmes is a disgraced young man - raw and unfiltered - when he finds himself wrapped up in a murder case that threatens his liberty. Unfolding in 1870s Oxford and adventuring abroad, Sherlock's first ever case unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy that changes his life forever.
