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) got her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine as a teenager. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (News Editor), Nerdbot (as Editor-In-Chief), and now [Bad]Influencers, where she is Editor-in-Chief. Over the past 15 years, she’s built a well-known 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. She also produces award-winning immersive events, including Wasteland Weekend and Neotropolis.
