Colin Firth is getting to work on Guy Ritchie‘s Young Sherlock series!
The 64-year-old actor – who stars in lots of fan favorite holiday films like Bridget Jones’s Diary and Love, Actually – was photographed on the set of the Amazon Prime Video show on Sunday (November 24) in Cardiff, Wales. It appeared as if Max Irons, playing Mycroft Holmes, might also have been on set!
Colin is set to portray Sir Bucephalus Hodge in the show, but we don’t have any further details. Hero Fiennes Tiffin, best known for his work in the After movie franchise, is playing the title role in the new series based on Andy Lane‘s novels. Also starring in the series are Hero‘s real-life uncle Joseph Fiennes, as well as Natascha McElhone and Zine Tseng.
Here’s the synopsis for the series: “At age 19, Sherlock Holmes is disgraced, raw, unfiltered, and unformed, when he finds himself caught up in a murder mystery at Oxford University which threatens his freedom. Diving into his first-ever case with a wild lack of discipline, Sherlock manages to unravel a globe-trotting conspiracy that will change his life forever.”
Colin has another TV series that he’s working on this year!
