Morris Chestnut will be back to grace our screens again as CBS announces that Watson has been renewed for a second season. In today’s tv landscape it is quite difficult for a new show to get another season so hats off to the cast and crew for pulling off a sophomore renewal.
Watson is a reimagining of the classic story of Sherlock Holmes but this time the story focuses on his partner and best friend for life – Dr. John Watson with Morris Chestnut in the lead role. Also starring Eve Harlow, Peter Mark Kendall, Inga Schlingmann, Ritchie Coster, and Rochelle Aytes in supporting roles.
Watson‘s first episode was watched by an incredible 18.7 million multi-platform (live tv and streaming) viewers, making it CBS’ most-watched scripted episode. So, it is a no brainer that the show picked up an early renewal.
Watson takes place after the death of Sherlock Holmes with a six-month time jump. John finds himself running a clinic alongside the smartest doctors in the world solving the insolvable cases that no one else would touch.
The show brings a realness that resonates, (with fans) and Morris Chestnut is always a fan favorite in his roles. He also is very engaging on his social media platforms.
Now that CBS has announced the renewal of Watson for a second season, along with some cancellation news for other shows (like S.W.A.T), there are two shows left that we await word on – The Equalizer and Poppa’s House. Each show could go either way. Stay tuned for more news regarding those two shows.
