Let’s be honest. Sherlock Holmes is the star, and Dr. John Watson is his sidekick. However, CBS made Watson (Morris Chestnut) the leading man of his own series last season.
He was standing on his own for most of the season because he thought that he was the only one who survived a showdown between Professor James Moriarty, and Sherlock and himself.
But he was not. Moriarty (Randall Park) also survived and was out to kill Watson. But it was Watson who got the last laugh when he supposedly killed his enemy.
That was last season. This season, Watson is going to find out that Sherlock is also alive, and he will be played by Robert Carlyle for a few episodes.
“We are thrilled to have the mighty Robert Carlyle join the cast of ‘Watson’ in Season 2,” said series showrunner Craig Sweeny. “The man has played iconic roles in projects like ‘Trainspotting,’ ‘The Full Monty,’ and ’28 Weeks Later’… and now he steps into the shoes of the most iconic detective of all, Sherlock Holmes. When Watson’s best friend and former partner makes a shocking reappearance in his life, Watson is forced to confront their shared past—and a secret that may lie buried within Watson’s own body.”
The actor confirmed the news by saying, “My dear Watson…a new challenge awaits me.”
It is unclear when he will be making his first appearance on the medical mystery procedural. However, we do know that it returns with all-new episodes on October 13th.
BTW Am I the only one who wants Watson to say, “No shit, Sherlock,” when he sees his friend for the first time after presuming he was dead?
The Fall broadcasting season is back in production, but not all of the actors are back at work.
Over at Tracker, Eric Graise and Abby McEnany are no longer assisting Justin Hartley in tracking missing people. According to TVLine, Graise played technical genius Bobby, who helped hack phones and computers and locate people via GPS. Even though, he was rarely seen, his role was important to Hartley’s character, Colter. McEnany’s Velma worked the calls and told Colter where to go.
Law & Order is saying goodbye to Mechad Brooks as Detective Jalen Shaw after three seasons. Deadline reports that his departure was a mutual decision between him and the producers.
We are a little over two months from the start of the Fall season on broadcast TV, and today, CBS announced when their shows will air their season premieres.
However, there is a big change. The FBI spinoff starring Tom Ellis is moving from the Fall to midseason. According to Deadline, the reason is that Showrunner David Hudgins has exited the series and Warren Leight will be replacing him. Therefore, they need time to adjust to the changes.
So, what is replacing CIA? Watson, which proved to be a hit last midseason, will now debut on Mondays in the Fall, instead of being held for 2026. Something I always thought should be the case.

Donnie Wahlberg will be back on CBS this Fall with the Blue Bloods spinoff, Boston Blue. Little by little, CBS announced who will be joining him on the series. Today, they made a shocking casting announcement.
Andrew Terraciano, who played Danny Reagan’s son, Sean, for all but one episode, will be replaced by Mika Amonsen in the new show.
Sources told Deadline, “The recasting stems from the character taking a new creative direction on Boston Blue as he follows the Reagans’ career path into law enforcement. Meanwhile, the addition of Sean to the offshoot helps explain Danny’s move from his native New York to Boston.”
I don’t know about you, but I think that is so fucked up. When someone plays the role for 14 seasons, you don’t kick them to the curb for someone else.
Survivor has been on the air for so long that it is getting ready to celebrate its 50th season in the Spring of 2026. And if you are going to have a milestone season, you have to give the fans a treat, and they are.
The show asked 24 contestants if they want to go into the jungle again, and they shockingly said yes. One of the contestants is Mike White, who competed and came in second during the David vs Goliath season. Why does that name sound familiar? He is the creator of The White Lotus.
Besides inviting back the fan favorites, they also let fans have a say about what is going to happen throughout the season.
Earlier this year, fans voted on key elements of the game, including “Idols or No Idols,” “Final Four Fire Making: Keep It or Lose It” and “Live Finale and Reunion Show in L.A. – or Keep the Winner Reveal and Aftershow in the Jungles of Fiji.” The players won’t know what the fans voted for until they are competing on the island.
