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.
Watson is produced by CBS Studios. Craig Sweeny (Elementary, Star Trek: Section 31) wrote the pilot and will showrun and executive produce. Additional executive producers include Morris Chestnut; ShÀron Moalem MD, PhD; and Aaron Kaplan and Brian Morewitz for Kapital Entertainment.
