He has already shot such series and films as “Alibi”, “Secret Sign” and other detective dramas on 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; it is based on an original script.
Producer Aleksander Remizov claimed: “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'”.<ref>[https://www.kp.ru/putevoditel/serialy/sherlok-holms-v-rossii-1-sezon/ Sherlock Holmes in Russia] on Komsomolskaya Pravda</ref>
