The Supernatural Cases of Sherlock Holmes

The Supernatural Cases of Sherlock Holmes would be an American supernatural mystery series created by Damon Lindelof for Disney+, based on the character of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. James D'Arcy stars in the title role, with Benedict Cumbertbatch and Paul Bettany also starring. The series is produced by 20th Television alongside Berlanti Productions and Bad Robot Productions. Lindelof and Jac Schaeffer serve as showrunners.
The series was conceived by executives due to an interest in having both a supernatural series and a Sherlock Holmes series, with the writers deciding to combine both ideas due to finding the idea of Sherlock Holmes being "outside his comofort zone" to be interesting for character development. The series was made with heavy use of practical effects provided by Jim Henson's Creature Shop, inspired by Schaeffer having also used them for the supernatural series Agatha All Along. The writers used several Holmes novels as sources of inspiration, giving them a "supernatural twist" that also add serialization to the stories.

=== Design ===
Mark Scruton would serve as production designer for the series. Schaeffer and Lindelof decided early on to avoid creating a "realistic" London, wanting to instead create a more gothic and stylized London as they prefered to make use of practical sets rather than filming on location. Scruton would draw inspiration from both the film Beetlejuice and 1900s Gothic art while creating designs for the series' set.
==Trivia==
*Benedict Cumbertbatch was casted as Watson as a nod to him having played Sherlock Holmes in the TV series Sherlock.
*Jac Schaeffer previously worked with Paul Bettany and David Lengle in WandaVision.
