Everything known about 'Watson' season 2: Schedule, returning cast, and story developments after season finale
Following its two-part finale that aired on May 11, Watson has entered a new chapter, with CBS outlining plans for the series to return in its 2025-2026 broadcast lineup. The show, which stars Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson, wrapped its debut season with a dramatic confrontation involving James Moriarty, portrayed by Randall Park. Set in present-day Pittsburgh, Watson reimagines the classic literary figure as the head of the Holmes Clinic of Diagnostic Medicine, where he and his team investigate complex medical mysteries. Described by Chestnut as 'doc-detectives,' the characters work both inside and outside the hospital to uncover causes of rare illnesses. The season's final episodes introduced Moriarty as the figure behind Sherlock Holmes' presumed death, a storyline that added intensity and lasting consequences for the clinic's staff. 'By the end, every member of Watson's team is permanently changed,' said executive producer Craig Sweeny. 'And not all the doctors make it to Season 2 as part of the group.' Although a specific premiere date has not been announced, CBS has placed Watson in its upcoming Sunday night slot at 10 p.m., following the new Yellowstone spinoff Y: Marshals. Speculation continues around which cast members will return, though Chestnut is expected to reprise his lead role. Season one also featured performances from Eve Harlow, Rochelle Aytes, Inga Schlingmann, Peter Mark Kendall, Ritchie Coster, Riley Orr, and Randall Park. Despite ongoing questions about Sherlock Holmes' fate, Sweeny has expressed no current plans to introduce him as a recurring figure. 'My belief is that Holmes is gone,' he said. 'But I don't want to be held to that if there's some great story.' Watson is available to watch on CBS, with streaming options on Paramount+ and Pluto.

Watson Showrunner on Why [Spoiler] Dies in Finale
Showrunner Craig Sweeny explained the shocking death in the Watson Season 1 finale and the story choices behind it. He said the finale marked a turning point for Watson and that Moriarty's end may impact Season 2. In the Watson Season 1 finale, Moriarty dies after Dr. Watson infects Randall Park's character with a genetically tailored disease. Watson asks Moriarty to cure Stephens. But when he decides not to, Watson lets him die from the disease he has been infected with. Craig Sweeny told ScreenRant, 'It was not a vengeful act by Watson.' '[It was] rather a prophylactic one to prevent the damage that he was able to do in the future with all of that DNA,' he added. The show framed Moriarty's death as a necessary conclusion to the crisis caused by his stolen DNA library. Sweeny stated, 'He was capable of using it to kill basically anyone in the world without a trace that he had stolen the secrets of Watson's patients.' The decision to kill him was part of a narrative arc in which Watson steps out of Sherlock Holmes' shadow. 'Season 1 was the story of Watson becoming his own man outside of the shadow of Sherlock Holmes by confronting Holmes' nemesis and defeating him,' Sweeny said. The showrunner emphasized that questions about Moriarty will remain relevant. 'The open questions about Moriarty remain open and of interest to us narratively,' he stated. 'The overarching storyline that we do plan for Season 2 will accommodate some further illumination of who that guy was,' Sweeny added. Sweeny also noted that Ingrid could have been swayed by Moriarty in a different timeline. 'If he had approached her in a slightly different timeline than he did, he probably would've had a different result.' The showrunner added, 'She connected more and more over the course of the season to both Watson and to Sasha, in particular.' Although Moriarty is dead, Sweeny confirmed, 'The Sherlock Holmes canon will not go away… actual events and characters from the stories will figure into Season 2.' Notably, the producers have not yet announced the release date of Season 2. Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on ComingSoon.
