Netflix’s New Mystery Movie Scores Over 20M Views in Just 5 Days
Netflix's third Enola Holmes film, starring Millie Bobby Brown, has drawn more than 20 million views within five days of its early-July 2026 release, making it one of the platform's biggest new arrivals of the month. The strong viewership matters because it underscores the franchise's continued commercial pull, even as the latest instalment has met a noticeably cooler critical and audience reception than its predecessors.
In the new film, Enola juggles her wedding in Malta with a puzzle that endangers both her brother and her prospective mother-in-law. Despite the healthy view count, it holds a middling 68% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes and a weaker 51% audience score. Collider's David Caballero gave it 5/10, saying it fails to deliver a meaty mystery or unpredictable plot, while other critics branded it "forgettable" and called for stronger scripts for Brown. The release also arrives amid a packed month for Netflix, with titles such as a new Little House on the Prairie adaptation, Will Ferrell's The Hawk, and Heartstopper Forever still to come.
- Enola Holmes 3 drew over 20 million Netflix views in five days.
