Watson, CBS’s recently announced modern Sherlock Holmes adaptation starring Morris Chestnut as the titular character, is borrowing from a classic Sir. Arthur Conan Doyle's story that many recent Sherlock movies and shows have covered. The world of Sherlock Holmes is returning to the small screen with CBS’s Watson show, which will be set in the modern day and will follow John Watson one year after the death of Sherlock Holmes at the hands of Professor Moriarty. Watson will join BBC’s Sherlock and CBS’s Elementary as modern adaptations of the famous detective's lore for television.
