News Animated Sherlock Another Day, Another Sherlock Holmes Show, but This Time It’s Animated… and Risqué The series will adapt The Unexpurgated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, risqué versions of the Sherlock stories. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on September 8, 2025 Media: EVA BOOKS Comment 0 Share New Share Media: EVA BOOKS Did you wake up this morning and say to yourself, “Wow, there hasn’t been news of a new Sherlock Holmes adaptation in days!” If so, I have something to tell you: Another Sherlock Holmes adaptation is, indeed, in the works, and this one has the working title of Animated Sherlock because it is, in fact, an animated series. But that’s not all, folks. According to Variety, the show won’t adapt the standard stories you likely know. Instead, they’re adapting “naughty” tales put out under the moniker, The Unexpurgated Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. These novels are written by Nicholas Sercombe, who is also CEO of Harry King Television, the company creating this animated series with Shrek producer, David Lipman. The series is meant for “mature viewers,” according to Variety, and will “explore character backstories for Holmes, Watson, Mrs. Hudson and Moriarty through a contemporary lens aimed at international adult demographics.” Whatever that means. It’s not surprising, however, that this cartoon won’t be for kids, given some of the book titles are The Mysterious Marriage of the Gay Bachelor, The Case of the Randy Stepfather, and A Balls-Up in Bohemia. “Taking the animation route allows us to reimagine Sherlock Holmes on a grander, more imaginative and risqué scale than before…  we are creating our very own Sherlock Holmes universe that feels both timeless and completely fresh—rich in character, humor and adventure,” Sercombe said in a statement. “We can’t wait for Animated Sherlock (wt) to surprise audiences globally and imbue one of the world’s most beloved literary icons with newfound energy.” No news yet on when or where we’ll be able to watch the animated series.
