What happens after Sherlock Holmes’ death? A new CBS series is looking to expand on the mysterious universe, diving into the next chapter that has intrigued fans for more than a century.

Set six months after the death of Sherlock Holmes, the show follows Dr. John Watson, who has returned to practicing medicine at a clinic for rare disorders. But Watson’s past isn’t done with him, as Moriarty, Holmes’ nemesis, makes a return.

Morris Chestnut, known for his roles in “The Best Man,” “Boyz n the Hood” and “The Best Man Holiday,” stars as Watson. He is also the series’ executive producer.

Here’s what to know about the new Sherlock Holmes-inspired series, including when and how to watch.

When does ‘Watson’ premiere?

The first episode of “Watson” premieres on CBS at around 10 p.m. ET on Sunday, Jan. 26, following the American Football Conference championship.

Do you need to watch ‘Elementary’ to watch ‘Watson’?

No, viewers do not need to watch “Elementary” before watching “Watson.” Though some Sherlock fans are calling the new release an “Elementary” sequel.

The only official correlations between “Watson” and CBS’ 2012 drama series “Elementary” is that the two shows are inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “Sherlock Holmes” and writer Craig Sweeny.

Sweeny wrote several episodes of “Elementary” and is the led writer behind “Watson.”

Over the course of seven seasons, “Elementary” takes a different approach to the classic Sherlock story, replacing Dr. John Watson with Dr. Joan Watson, played by Lucy Liu − the first female version of Holmes’ beloved sidekick.

Entertainment journalist Jack Ori wrote for Screen Rant that “Watson” is “the closest thing to a spiritual successor to ‘Elementary.'”

Ori said that “Elementary” humanized the classic Sherlock characters, which he hopes will be the case in “Watson.”
