'Watson' Renewed for Season 2, Returning Projected Cast Members Revealed

Morris Chestnut Stars as Dr. John Watson

Morris Chestnut stars in the series as the title character, Dr. Watson!

In the series, Dr. John Watson resumes his medical career as the head of a clinic dedicated to treating rare disorders. Watson’s old life isn’t done with him, though – Moriarty and Watson are set to write their own chapter of a story that has fascinated audiences for more than a century.

He’s also serving as an executive producer on the show. It’s expected he’ll return for season 2.

Inga Schlingmann as Sasha Lubbock

Inga Schlingmann, who you might recognize from CBS comedy So Help Me Todd, plays Dr. Sasha Lubbock. We’d expect to see her back! While most people question how she had the time and energy to double-board in both rheumatology and immunology, Watson (Chestnut) knows it’s because Sasha thrives in bifurcated conditions. Having grown up torn between two families — her birth parents in central China, and her adoptive, religious family in Dallas, Texas — Sasha’s southern charm is parallel only to the ambition that landed her in one of the world’s most prestigious genetics clinics.
