CBS already has over a dozen shows set for its 2026-2027 lineup, but Watson is not among them.
The network renewed 10 of its primetime shows in January — including dramas Tracker, Matlock, Elsbeth, Fire Country, and the three NCISes — to join Boston Blue, Sheriff Country, FBI, Ghosts, and new series Cupertino and Einstein in its lineup next season. And sadly, on Friday, March 27, CBS canceled Watson. The current second season will be its last.
Read on for everything we know so far about the future of the Morris Chestnut-led drama.
No, the series was canceled on March 27. The news comes just ahead of the 15th episode of its second season airing on March 29.
We knew the decision had to come soon because, per Deadline, CBS will be releasing its 2026-2027 schedule on April 15 and was “expected” to decide if its shows will be coming back in time for that.
The medical drama is a modern take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s iconic characters. Morris Chestnut stars as Dr. John Watson, after his best friend and sleuth Sherlock Holmes’ death — or so he thinks.
