Robert Carlyle Cast as Sherlock Holmes in Season 2 of CBS Series WATSON
Robert Carlyle (Toxic Town, Trainspotting) has signed on to play the legendary literary detective Sherlock Holmes in Season 2 of the CBS series Watson. Carlyle will appear in a recurring guest role, working opposite series lead Morris Chestnut, who plays Dr. John Watson. The series also stars Eve Harlow, Peter Mark Kendall, Ritchie Coster, Inga Schlingmann and Rochelle Aytes.
The investigative medical drama is a modern take on one of history’s greatest detectives as he turns his attention from solving crimes to solving medical mysteries. While Watson’s team may have defeated Moriarty (Randall Park) last season, they remain determined in Season 2 in their mission to investigate and treat the world’s rarest diseases for their clinic’s patients.
With his eyes fixed on the future, Watson faces an unexpected twist when Sherlock Holmes, who was presumed dead, resurfaces, forcing him to confront a buried secret from his past — one that lies hidden within his own body.
The second season premieres at 10 p.m. on Monday, October 13, on CBS and streams on Paramount+.
