3 Body Problem breakout Zine Tseng has been tapped as a lead opposite Hero Fiennes Tiffin in Young Sherlock, Prime Video’s series from Guy Ritchie, which tells the origin story of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s beloved detective.

Written and executive produced by showrunner Matthew Parkhill inspired by Andy Lane’s Young Sherlock Holmes book series, the show re-imagines Sherlock Holmes at age 19. Disgraced, raw, unfiltered, and unformed, he finds himself caught up in a murder mystery at Oxford University which threatens his freedom. Diving into his first-ever case with a wild lack of discipline, Sherlock (Fiennes Tiffin) manages to unravel a globe-trotting conspiracy that will change his life forever.
