Young Sherlock: The Bodleian Replica That Fooled the Cast | Set Stories

Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Zine Tseng, and Donal Finn take us behind the scenes of Young Sherlock and break down the simple direction from Guy Ritchie that shaped the tone of the series: “Just be cool.” In this exclusive Collider interview, the cast shares how Ritchie’s fast-paced, collaborative style defined Prime Video’s Young Sherlock from day one. From filming inside the Bodleian Library at Oxford to massive recreated sets in Cardiff, the trio reflects on bringing a young Sherlock Holmes story to life on an epic scale. They discuss shooting in Spain — including a stunning palace in Seville — tackling intense prison fight sequences, and the challenge of making every punch (and every “cool” reaction) look effortless on camera. The cast also opens up about late-night rain shoots, on-set DJs to keep morale high, sneaking a magnifying glass prop into Sherlock’s room, and the chess matches that turned the green room into a battle of wits. It’s a candid look at how Young Sherlock blends action, intellect, and Guy Ritchie’s signature style. Young Sherlock premieres March 4 on Prime Video. 0:00 Introduction – Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Zine Tseng & Donal Finn 0:44 Guy Ritchie’s “Just Be Cool” Direction 2:33 Filming at Oxford & Rebuilding the Bodleian in Cardiff 4:14 Shooting in Spain & the Seville Palace 5:05 The Big Chase Scene & On-Set Injury 7:34 Prison Fight & Working with the Stunt Team 9:34 Guy Ritchie’s Vision & Influences 12:22 Late-Night Shoots, Music & Hidden Sherlock Props Our Social Media:   / collider   www.x.com/Collider Our Website https://www.collider.com Video By Michael Zimmermann & Trent B Minia For copyright matters, please contact us at: [email protected] #youngsherlock #herofiennestiffin #collider #zinetseng #donalfinn
