WATSON is a medical show with a strong investigative spine, featuring a modern version of one of history&#8217;s greatest detectives as he turns his attention from solving crimes to solving medical mysteries.<\/p>\n<p>WATSON is produced by CBS Studios. Craig Sweeny (ELEMENTARY, STAR TREK: SECTION 31) wrote the pilot and will showrun and executive produce. Additional executive producers include Morris Chestnut; Sh\u00e4ron Moalem MD, PhD; and Aaron Kaplan and Brian Morewitz for Kapital Entertainment.
