Sherlock & Co. is a British audio drama podcast that reimagines Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories in a modern setting, presented through the perspective of Dr. John Watson. [1] The podcast follows Watson, portrayed as a true crime podcaster and former British Army doctor, as he recounts his adventures with the brilliant detective Sherlock Holmes. Sherlock & Co. was created by Joel Emery, directed by Adam Jarrell, and features Paul Waggott as Dr. John Watson, Harry Attwell as Sherlock Holmes, and Marta da Silva as Mariana “Mrs. Hudson” Ametxazurra. [2]

Contents

The podcast was created by Holy Smokes Audio in partnership with Goalhanger Podcasts - who originally commissioned the show - and launched in October 2023, with episodes released weekly. By returning to the episodic nature of Doyle's original tales, Sherlock & Co. hopes to appeal to fans of the classic detective genre.

The show was developed in partnership with Goalhanger known for its history and politics programming, and is the first fictional show from the network. [3]

Format

Each episode is narrated by Dr. John Watson, who serves as the editor and host of the podcast, echoing his role as Doyle’s chronicler of Holmes' cases. Watson's perspective provides a firsthand account of the mysteries, presenting the stories as recordings for a true crime audience.
