The production described the project as folows:

: « ''Based on the unforgettable characters created by [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]], Sherlock North is a contemporary crime fiction television series, which will consist of 10 one-hour episodes. Consulting detective Mr Sherlock Holmes from London ends up in a freezingly cold northern Scandinavia facing the coldest Moriarty you have ever seen. Thankfully, he is aided by Dr Johanna Watson from Finland. The series, produced by Helsinki and Los Angeles-based Snapper Films, is being developed in collaboration with the Conan Doyle Estate Limited.'' »

The director, [[Juha Wuolijoki]], told about the TV series:

: « ''Sherlock North is a fish-out-of-water story. British, upper-class Sherlock Holmes could not be further from his comfort zone than in dark and cold Lapland. Even worse, in order to resolve a series of murders he has to deal with a Finnish small-town doctor, Johanna Watson. Nordic noir is a constantly evolving genre and the idea of making a TV series combining the Sherlock Holmes story and comedy felt so insane that I got exited right away. I am looking forward to working in subzero temperature again.'' »
