Robert Downey Jr. may be back in the Sherlock Holmes universe, but he may not be playing the character. The former Holmes actor is set to executive produce two new Sherlock Holmes universe series that are in development at HBO Max, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Neither show has any concrete details yet, which leaves many questions unanswered. For example, we don’t know what these shows might be about, or even if they will take place during the same time period. We also don’t know if this Holmes universe will be interconnected, or if it will just include many different series about the world’s most famous detective.
Perhaps the biggest lingering question about these new Sherlock Holmes shows is whether or not Downey Jr. will reprise his role as the titular detective. The actor played Holmes in two films directed by Guy Ritchie, the first of which was released in 2009 and the second in 2011. A third film in the series was briefly in the works, but never ended up moving forward.
Because these two new series are only in early development at the moment, it’s still very possible that HBO Max won’t choose to move forward with them.
