"Trainspotting" and "Toxic Town" star Robert Carlyle has signed on to join the second season of CBS' procedural medical drama series "Watson" as iconic detective Sherlock Holmes. Carlyle will appear in a recurring guest role opposite series lead Morris Chestnut, who plays the titular protagonist. The cast also includes Eve Harlow, Peter Mark Kendall, Ritchie Coster, Inga Schlingmann and Rochelle Aytes.
The show is a modern reimagining of one of history's greatest detectives as he turns his attention from solving crimes to solving medical mysteries. After defeating Moriarty (Randall Park) last season, in Season 2 the team will embark on a mission to investigate and treat the world's rarest diseases for their clinic's patients. With his eyes fixed on the future, Watson faces an unexpected twist when Sherlock Holmes, who was presumed dead, resurfaces, forcing him to confront a buried secret from his past — one that lies hidden within his own body.
Craig Sweeny, executive producer and showrunner of Watson had this to say about the casting: "We are thrilled to have the mighty Robert Carlyle join the cast of Watson in Season 2. 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 second season premieres Monday, October 13, at 10 p.m. on CBS, and streams on Paramount+.
Carlyle can next be seen starring as Jack Ruby in Roland Joffe's JFK assassination thriller, "November 1963", which also stars John Travolta, Mandy Patinkin and Dermot Mulroney.
