Morris Chestnut Teases 'Watson' Season 2 and the Potential Return of Sherlock Holmes

The first season of 'Watson' laid the groundwork for John Watson to emerge from Sherlock Holmes' shadow. The finale saw Watson confronting and defeating Moriarty, a significant step in establishing his independence. Showrunner Craig Sweeny emphasized the importance of Watson earning his spotlight, especially given the presence of such an iconic figure as Sherlock Holmes. While Sweeny hasn't ruled out a Sherlock comeback, he insists it would only occur if it serves the story and doesn't undermine Watson's character development.

Season 2 aims to build on this foundation by focusing more on Watson's medical expertise and personal growth. The introduction of new, complex medical cases promises to showcase Watson's skills and further separate him from his famous associate. The potential inclusion of Lucy Liu adds another layer of intrigue, possibly exploring the different interpretations of the Watson character across various adaptations. The series also intends to incorporate elements from the Sherlock Holmes canon in inventive ways, ensuring that the original lore remains relevant without overshadowing the current narrative.

Morris Chestnut has hinted at the possibility, acknowledging the mythology of Holmes' resurrections, but the showrunners are wary of overshadowing Watson's character.

The season will focus more on unique medical cases, with increased humor and wit, moving beyond the immediate aftermath of the Moriarty storyline.

Morris Chestnut has expressed interest in having Lucy Liu appear on the show, but there are no confirmed talks as of now.
