CBS’ ‘Watson’ Sets January Premiere Date
CBS’ brand new medical mystery drama, Watson, is set to premiere after the NFL’s AFC Championship Game on Sunday, January 26, 2025.
Following the premiere, Watson will begin airing in its regular time slot beginning on Sunday, February 16, 2025 at 10:00 p.m. ET.
Here’s the synopsis for the series:
Watson takes place six months after the death of the titular character’s friend and partner Sherlock Holmes at the hands of Moriarty. The show stars Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson, who resumes his medical career as the head of a clinic dedicated to treating rare disorders. 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 also stars Eve Harlow, Peter Mark Kendall, Ritchie Coster, Inga Schlingmann and Rochelle Aytes. It is produced by CBS Studios, and is executive produced by Craig Sweeny (who also serves as showrunner), Morris Chestnut, Sallie Patrick, Larry Teng, Shäron Moalem MD, PhD; Aaron Kaplan for Kapital Entertainment; and Brian Morewitz.
Fans of Walker: Independence will also be excited to know that aside from executive producing the series, Larry Teng also directed the first two episodes (which is sure to be great!)
