CBS Selects New Sherlock Holmes for Watson, Drawing My Interest to Tune In to the Series
In an exciting development for fans of CBS's Watson, it has been announced that Robert Carlyle will be taking on the iconic role of Sherlock Holmes in the show's upcoming second season.
Carlyle's character, previously thought to be dead after a confrontation with the villain Moriarty, played by Randall Park, will make a "shocking reappearance." This unexpected resurfacing will force Dr. John Watson, played by Morris Chestnut, to confront a hidden secret from their shared past—one that is hinted to be physically embedded within Watson himself.
The legendary duo of Watson and Sherlock Holmes is being reunited in Watson, and their interaction promises to create a dramatic reunion and challenge the status quo of the existing cast. The resurfacing of Holmes will bring tension and complexity, as Watson must deal with the shock and implications of Holmes being alive, which ties directly into a mysterious secret that impacts Watson on a very personal level.
Robert Carlyle is no stranger to the limelight, having gained fame for his roles in films like The Full Monty, Trainspotting, and 28 Weeks Later. His casting as Sherlock Holmes in Watson is exciting for fans of his previous roles, and his character will be a recurring guest star in Season 2.
Paramount Plus subscribers can look forward to streaming the second season of Watson, which will premiere on Monday, October 13 at 10 p.m. ET. The streaming service provides access not only to the second season of Watson, but also to a variety of CBS shows, Paramount movies, and more.
It's worth noting that Season 1 of Watson can also be streamed with a Paramount+ subscription, and Matt Berry voiced Sherlock Holmes during that season. The second season of Watson promises to be an exciting continuation of the series, with the addition of Robert Carlyle as Sherlock Holmes.
Interestingly, Watson has been shown to function without Sherlock Holmes, but the second season is expected to address the mystery surrounding his "shocking reappearance." With Carlyle's Holmes positioned as a pivotal figure, his comeback is set to drive the core conflict and emotional depth of Season 2, impacting Watson and the broader ensemble.
In addition to Carlyle, Whoopi Goldberg's Irene Adler and Randall Park's James Moriarty were previously introduced in Season 1 of Watson. The second season of the show will also feature Dr. Ingrid Derian and the Croft brothers, suggesting significant character development and new dynamics within the main cast.
Once Upon a Time, where Carlyle gained fame for his role as Rumpelstiltskin, can be streamed with a Hulu subscription. Fans of both Once Upon a Time and Watson are in for a treat as Carlyle takes on the role of Sherlock Holmes in the latter.
Robert Carlyle's return as Sherlock Holmes in the second season of Watson will not only bring excitement for fans of his previous roles but also introduce intriguing interviews about his performance in the popular series. Paramount Plus subscribers can enjoy daily blend discussions on movies-and-tv, including exclusive insights about the upcoming season of Watson.
