CBS gives a thumbs-up for TV series "Watson" from writer Craig Sweeny (Book-inspired TV Series Elementary) for the 2024-25 broadcast season. Actor Morris Chestnut will play the lead role and executive produce the TV Series. The series is a medical drama inspired by the characters from Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes mysteries.
Described as a medical show with a huge emphasis on investigation, Watson presents a contemporary rendition of one of history's most brilliant detectives, who shifts his focus from solving crimes to unraveling medical mysteries.
This series exists within a universe where the character Holmes has already met his demise, a direction that the original author, Arthur Conan Doyle, supposedly intended with his work, "The Final Problem".
