Dr. John Watson is making a comeback without Sherlock Holmes in a new CBS medical drama.
Morris Chestnut will portray Watson in a modern-day series set one year after Holmes' death, as he runs a clinic for rare diseases.
The new series will reimagine the characters from Arthur Conan Doyle's works and share similarities with CBS' previous show, Elementary. Craig Sweeny, creator of Elementary, will also executive produce this new series.
