Writer Tom Bidwell (who had helmed Netflix's Watership Down) described the program as "my dream project and my oldest idea"[6] and it takes a different view of Holmes and his relationship to the Irregulars.

Sherlock Holmes had a group of street kids he’d use to help him gather clues so our series is what if Sherlock was a drug addict and a delinquent and the kids solve the whole case whilst he takes credit.[7]

The program was announced be filmed in the UK, with Endeavour’s Johnny Allan[8] as lead director.[1] In early December 2019, there were reports that filming had taken place in Nantwich at Dorfold Hall.[9] Filming took place in Liverpool in late 2019 and early 2020, making use of several locations in the city including St George's Plateau, the palm house in Sefton Park and Falkner Street in the Georgian Quarter.[10][11] Filming was temporarily disrupted in January 2020 when a cast member was injured on set on Liverpool's Ormond Street.[12] Filming took place in Chester towards the end of January 2020, in Abbey Square, next to Chester Cathedral and also in the city’s suburb of Hoole.[13] Production then went to North Wales in March.[14]

Filming resumed in August 2020, starting with scenes in Ellesmere Port that were intended to be filmed in March.[15]
