In the Netflix series "The Irregulars," Sherlock Holmes is killed off in the first season finale, leaving many fans shocked and wondering why the show's creators made this decision. Showrunner Tom Bidwell explained that the death of Holmes was a necessary step to allow the Irregulars, a group of streetwise young people who help Holmes solve crimes, to come into their own and become their own heroes. Bidwell also said that killing off Holmes allowed the show to explore new and unexpected storylines that would not have been possible if Holmes were still alive.
