HBO Max Developing Robert Downey Jr. Sherlock Holmes Universe!

By Mary Anne Butler Last updated Apr 5, 2022

This just in-

HBO Max is currently developing TWO scripted series based on the beloved works of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s Sherlock Holmes! Not only that, but Robert Downey Jr. and Lionel Wigram are both executive producing. Obviously, Downey Jr. starred as Detective Holmes in two live action films, and Wigram produced both (as well as getting a story credit).

At present, there’s no information about whether or not RDJr. will be acting in either project.

This news was first reported by THR. We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other projects.

Mary Anne Butler

Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.

Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.

Though she be but little, she is fierce.
