Henry Lloyd-Hughesâs Twitter bio states that he is âthe most famous actor youâve never heard ofâ. It is a line that appeared in a magazine profile of him last year. There is another profile, from five years earlier, that says roughly the same thing. He is a fantastic actor with a near flawless CV; if only he could somehow land that career-defining role that would push him over the top.
âItâs remarkable,â laughs Lloyd-Hughes, 35. âThe false dawns Iâve had. Iâm like the Teflon Don. You can put success near me, you can put me in the biggest-grossing British sitcom of all time, but it doesnât touch me. It just runs off me. Fame can come this close to me and yet it leaves no trace. Iâm immune to success.â

After dropping an ominous teaser for it in February, Netflix has now released a full trailer for its upcoming series
The Irregulars. It’s part of the streaming channel’s Sherlock Holmes cinematic universe (no that’s not a thing, but it could be!) after last year’s charming
Enola Holmes series, which told the story of Sherlock’s younger sister, based on the novels by Nancy Springer (although Arthur Conan Doyle’s estate has sued Netflix for that series’ portrayal of Sherlock as too emotional).

As the crimes grow more horrifying and a dark power emerges, it will be up to the Irregulars to come together to save not only London but the entire world.
Since we ve already had TV shows and movies about a Holmes who was great at boxing, Holmes in the modern day, Holmes as an old man and Holmes sister, it was only a matter of time before we saw him face supernatural evils.
Henry Lloyd-Hughes (Killing Eve, The Inbetweeners) will play Holmes and will star alongside Royce Pierreson (The Witcher, Line of Duty) as Dr Watson and Clarke Peters (His Dark Materials, The Wire) as the mysteriously titled Linen Man.
