Adapted from Andrew Lane's Young Sherlock Holmes novels, the official synopsis reads: 'Sherlock Holmes is a disgraced young man – raw and unfiltered – when he finds himself wrapped up in a murder case that threatens his liberty. His first-ever case unravels a globe-trotting conspiracy that changes his life forever.
'Unfolding in 1870s Oxford and adventuring abroad, the series will expose the early antics of the anarchic adolescent who is yet to evolve into Baker Street's most renowned resident.'
In typical Sherlock fashion, this series focuses on the mystery surrounding the death of Sherlock's sister, which led to his mother Cordelia being admitted to an asylum, his father Silas working abroad, and Holmes himself being sent to boarding school.
The show also sees Sherlock and Moriarty join forces in a bid to solve the mystery, showing the pair's friendship before they would go on to becoming bitter enemies.

Despite his famous heritage, Hero himself recently confessed he spent 'years' being embarrassed of his famous surname, and spent much of his upbringing craving 'a normal childhood.'
The actor also flew in the face of many stars who hit back at claims that they are 'nepo-babies,' instead saying it's 'fair' others make that comparison.
As well as two famous uncles in the acting world, Hero grew up with many of his loved ones working in the film industry, as his mother Martha was a director, and his father George worked as a cinematographer.
Hero started his career when he played a younger incarnation of Tom Riddle, also known as Lord Voldemort, in and the Half Blood Prince, a surprise move given his uncle Ralph was starring as the Dark Lord himself.
Speaking about his famous roots, Hero told Tatler: 'I used to be so embarrassed of that. Maybe I still am a tiny bit. Hero Beauregard Faulkner Fiennes Tiffin is a lot.
'I mean, even Hero's a lot. My brother and I used to say, 'What's wrong with John and Mark? What's the next kid going to be called, Batman?'

'But no, it's a great conversation starter. It's memorable. I only hope I can live up to it.'
He added: 'As I get older, I appreciate it more, but when I was younger, I think I just wanted to be more normal. Now I feel nothing but pride.'
Hero also acknowledged that much of his breakthrough in the acting world has come from his famous family.
He said: 'I don't feel any sense of it getting my back up. I think it's so fair.
'I would never be an actor if it wasn't for my family being in the industry and I'm extremely lucky that they were, and nepotism is the appropriate word for why I do what I do.'
'If someone told me that I don't deserve it, then I definitely would defend myself. But no, I'm so lucky to have had the opportunities.'

Hero admitted that he spent years trying to avoid the 'eccentric' side of his famous upbringing, before he was offered the role alongside his uncle in Harry Potter.

He shared: 'I think there was an element of me wanting to have a normal childhood and I didn't want to chase the eccentric, Fiennes side of things… and then Harry Potter came along.'
Reflecting on starring in the 2009 film, he said: 'I was a bit like, 'I'm not going to get it, Mum. There's loads of people, like real actors, who practise acting and they're more likely to get the role.'
'Eventually I got it, and I was really surprised that I did. And the experience was nothing but fun.'

Hero is set to find a much wider fanbase when he stars in Young Sherlock, and he said: 'The pros massively outweigh the cons, but there are some cons. I never wanted to be famous, and my comforts are quite reliant on anonymity and staying local to where I'm from and being able to go into my local pub.
'It really would be quite sad not to be able to do those things as much or as easily without being recognised.
'If that does happen and it's harder for me to walk around, then so be it. I've played Sherlock Holmes for Guy Ritchie. It was worth it.'
Hero also told Radio Times: 'I completely understand the intrigue about nepotism and the opportunities you get for and from your family.
'I'd be the first to admit that I don't think I'd be here if it wasn't for them. But I'm not going to get a 'nepo baby' tattoo, or put it in my bio!
'I appreciate how lucky I've been to get a foot in the door, but I feel I've proved that I deserve to be here through the work that I've done. I'm not shy about talking about these things.'
