Watson is an upcoming American television series created by Craig Sweeny that is set to premiere on CBS on January 26, 2025. The series, described as a "medical drama with detective elements", is centered around the character of Dr. John Watson from Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. It is the second CBS series to adapt the Holmes stories, after Elementary. While the two programs are otherwise unrelated, their creative teams overlap.

Premise

One year after Sherlock Holmes's apparent death at the hands of his archenemy Moriarty, Dr. John Watson resumes his medical practice by opening the "Holmes Clinic" in Pittsburgh to treat patients with strange and unidentifiable medical issues. Soon however, Watson must face his past when evidence surfaces indicating that Moriarty is still alive.^[1]

Peter Mark Kendall as Stephens Croft and Adam Croft, identical twin brothers, acting as infectious disease and functional medicine specialists at the clinic.
Inga Schlingmann as Sasha Lubbock, a charismatic specialist in rheumatology and immunology.
Ritchie Coster as Shinwell Johnson, a former criminal acquaintance of Holmes and Watson who works as the clinic's administrative aide.
Rochelle Aytes as Mary Morstan, a noted East Coast surgeon and Watson's ex-wife who serves as the clinic's medical director.
