The sci-fi series Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century features a trio of children who aid Holmes as the new Baker Street Irregulars, and are even led by a boy named Wiggins (who may or may not be a descendant of the original).
The Irregulars appear as the main characters in Sherlock Holmes and the Baker Street Irregulars: The Fall of the Amazing Zalindas, a 2006 novel by Tracy Mack and Michael Citrin. Wiggins is again the leader. Other major characters include Ozzie, a scrivener's apprentice; Rohan, an Indian boy; Elliot, from an Irish tailor's family; Pilar, a Gypsy girl; and little Alfie. The Irregulars help solve the mysterious deaths of three tightrope walkers at a circus.
The group is mentioned briefly in the Doctor Who episode "Hide" as the Eleventh Doctor discusses the involvement of Professor Palmer in the Special Operations Executive.[31]
The Baker Street Irregulars are mentioned in Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child's Agent Pendergast novel, White Fire. During the plot of the novel, Agent Pendergast teams up with a fictional member of the group to find a "lost" Sherlock Holmes story entitled "The Adventure of Aspern Hall".
Variations of the Irregulars can be found in the modern-day remakes Sherlock (set in London) and Elementary (set in New York). In Sherlock, the "Irregulars"—although never named as such—are various homeless people scattered around London, who provide Sherlock with information and observe his targets in exchange for money and food; they also assisted him in faking his death during his final confrontation with Moriarty. In Elementary, by contrast, the "Irregulars" are an assortment of experienced adults in certain fields that Holmes calls on for insight when his own knowledge of a subject proves inadequate to the current case; members depicted to date include a mathematician, a meteorologist, an expert in Greek myth and literature (Ms. Hudson, who is an "official" muse for wealthy men when not working with Sherlock) a man with a particularly keen sense of smell, and a teenage hacker (In Elementary, Sherlock also associates with a hacktivist group known as 'Everyone' when he needs to look up key information on short notice, but this interaction commonly involves him humiliating himself in exchange for a favour from Everyone, such as singing "Let It Go" on YouTube in a dress or defending the Jacob/Bella relationship at a Twilight convention).
