Production

The Filmings began in St. Petersburg in spring 2019. The director was Nurbek Egen. He has already shot such series and films as “Alibi”, “Secret Sign” and others detective dramas on the Russian television. Oleg Malovichenko worked on the script, his previous works were “Ice”, “Method”, “Attraction” and others. The series is not a full-fledged adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's works, and it based on original script.

According to the producer Aleksander Remizov: “The plot is based on exciting and mysterious crimes that Sherlock would never have encountered in his native England. We will show the viewer a story familiar to everyone, but on the other side. The unification of cultures through the adaptation of the Englishman in Russia, new crimes and love are the components of the project that create a new story - 'Sherlock in Russia'”.[5]
