CBS announced the straight to series drama order for Watson, starring Morris Chestnut, from CBS Studios for the 2024-2025 broadcast season.

Watson's old life isn't done with him, though - Moriarty and Watson are set to write their own chapter of a story that has fascinated audiences for more than a century. WATSON is a medical show with a strong investigative spine, featuring a modern version of one of history's greatest detectives as he turns his attention from solving crimes to solving medical mysteries.
