'Watson' Season 1 Cast & Character Descriptions: 6 Actors Starring, Including an 'FBI' Actress, 'So Help Me Todd' Favorite & More
During the 2025 Golden Globes tonight, you might see some promos for CBS‘ upcoming new series Watson, which is a Sherlock Holmes spinoff show with a stellar cast!
The series takes place six months after the death of the titular character’s friend and partner Sherlock Holmes at the hands of Moriarty. The show focuses on 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.
The debut episode of the series is set to air on Sunday (January 26) on CBS after the much-anticipated AFC Championship Game. You can watch on CBS, of course, and also stream on Paramount+ the next day!
We’re breaking down the cast of the show – and lots of the names will look familiar. One of the cast members exited another CBS hit – FBI – last year!
