Morris Chestnut recently opened up about the exciting future of his hit show Watson.
During a chat at the Monte-Carlo TV Festival, the star shared some juicy details that fans won’t want to miss.
Let’s dive into what’s coming next for this modern take on the Sherlock Holmes universe.
Lucy Liu on Watson? Morris Chestnut Says Yes Please!
Chestnut isn’t shy about his dream guest star. He’s personally trying to get Elementary star Lucy Liu to appear on Watson.
“I’m trying to track her down,” he admitted with genuine enthusiasm.
While no official talks have happened yet, Chestnut seems determined to make this Watson crossover happen.
Will We Finally See Matt Berry?
Fans have been wondering if Matt Berry, currently just the voice of Sherlock Holmes, might actually appear on screen.
Chestnut gave a playful hint: “Holmes, you know, in the mythology, does come back… and we are part of the mythology.”
His eyes twinkled as he said this, suggesting something exciting might be brewing.
Season 2 Takes a Fresh Direction
“We’re going to focus more on the medical cases,” Chestnut revealed, promising a shift in the show’s focus.
After a first season dealing with the villainous James Moriarty messing with Watson’s medications, the character can now loosen up a bit.
More Laughs, Less Darkness
Season 2 will bring “more humor and wit” according to Chestnut.
With Moriarty’s shadow no longer looming, Watson can “have a little bit more fun and be a little bit more loose” while still tackling “very unique medical cases.”
Watson’s Success Story
CBS clearly believes in Watson, renewing it after an impressive first season.
The show’s premiere became the network’s most-watched scripted episode of the 2024-25 season, pulling in around 6.79 million viewers weekly.
Watson has clearly captured the audience’s imagination with its fresh take on the classic character.
When Can You Watch?
Don’t look for Watson in the fall lineup. Season 2 will hit screens in January in a 10 pm slot.
Chestnut shared these details during the Monte-Carlo TV Festival, which kicked off with Watson’s French premiere.
With its unique blend of medical drama and Sherlock Holmes mythology, Watson continues to build on its successful formula.
The show’s fresh approach to the classic character has clearly resonated with viewers, making it one of CBS’s standout hits.
