Rochelle Aytes is bummed that CBS canceled Watson, on which she stars as Dr. Mary Morstan. But she’s still encouraging the medical drama’s fans to tune in to the last episodes.
“I am saddened by the news of our cancellation, but we still have a handful of entertaining episodes for you!” Aytes wrote in an Instagram reel as she shared a teaser for Sunday’s new episode.
Watson devotees learned yesterday CBS had canceled the series, declining to order a third season. The network’s decision to give the green light to a second season of CIA sealed Watson’s fate, according to Deadline.
The Hollywood Reporter reports the Watson series finale will air on Sunday, May 3, at 10/9c, corroborating earlier reports that Season 2 will boast 20 episodes.
The series has been getting the lowest average viewership totals of all scripted CBS series this season, with an average of 2.86 million viewers, down more than 44 percent from last season, according to TV Series Finale.
Sunday’s all-new episode of Watson, titled “A Third Act Surprise” features another reunion between John and his seemingly-resurrected (and possibly hallucinated) friend Sherlock Holmes (recurring star Robert Carlyle).
“Watson and the fellows race to save the life of a young woman who needs a lifesaving kidney donation,” CBS says in an episode description. “Meanwhile, Sherlock returns to help crack unsolved cases in Pittsburgh.”
