Whoa! Sherlock’s Ultimate Foe, Moriarty, Is Getting His OWN Modern Series!

An artistic, shadowy depiction of Moriarty, perhaps with a modern, sleek aesthetic.
  • Moriarty is getting his very own modern TV series!
  • It’s a fresh take on Sherlock Holmes’ classic nemesis.
  • Fremantle and Archery Pictures are behind it.
  • We’re sharing our first thoughts on this big news!

You won’t believe what just landed on our desk! We’re buzzing with excitement over this one. Finally, some news about one of fiction’s greatest bad guys!

Okay, so you know Sherlock Holmes, right? Well, guess who’s finally getting their own spotlight? His ultimate rival. James Moriarty! Yup, a whole new series about Sherlock Holmes’ arch nemesis is officially in the works. How cool is that?

Fremantle and the folks behind Operation Mincemeat, Archery Pictures, are teaming up for this. They’re calling it Moriarty for now. It’s a working title, but it already sounds intense. And the writers? Chris Cornwell from A Discovery of Witches and Oliver Lansley from Where’s Wanda? are penning this. Seriously talented people!

The team behind the show said it’s going to be a “modern reinvention.” We’re already picturing the vibe. Think sleek. Maybe a little gritty. A dark, sophisticated aesthetic. Less old-school London fog, more sharp, contemporary intrigue. Very visually striking, we bet.

It’s all about giving the bad guy his moment, you know? Like when Jr NTR honors his grandfather at NTR Ghat – a touching tribute, even for a legend. This show feels like a tribute to a legendary villain! You can read about Jr NTR’s tribute here.

And just like how Kim Soo-Hyun is NOT playing around when it comes to legal stuff, this series isn’t playing around either. They’re going big with this! Catch up on Kim Soo-Hyun’s big lawsuit!

Our Take

We are genuinely hyped for this. Moriarty finally getting his own show? Yes, please! It’s always fascinating to see stories from the villain’s side. Plus, a modern take means so many possibilities. We can’t wait to see what kind of twists and turns they throw our way. This could be seriously good. Get ready for some master villainy!
