It is being reported that CBS has cancelled Watson after two seasons. The news comes with six episodes remaining in the medical drama's now-final run. The move isn't a huge surprise, as it was the network's only drama that had not already secured a pickup for next season.

The series got off to a solid start following its early 2025 debut, earning itself an early renewal. But a move to the fall schedule in Season 2 resulted in lower ratings, which likely sealed its fate.

Set six months after the death of Sherlock Holmes at the hands of Moriarty, the show stars Morris Chestnut as Holmes' friend and partner Dr. John Watson, who resumes his medical career as the head of a clinic dedicated to treating rare disorders. Watson can't fully escape his old life, though, as he and Moriarty are set to write their own chapter of a story that has fascinated audiences for more than a century.
