Watson is an upcoming American television series set to air on CBS. 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.[1]
It is the second Holmes-based series from CBS, following Elementary, which shares many of the same creative team; the two programs are otherwise unrelated.
