March 27 (UPI) -- CBS has announced it renewed Watson, its hit drama starring Morris Chestnut as the titular sleuth, for Season 2.

"Thank you for all the love and support! I can't wait for Season 2 of @watsoncbs," Chestnut, 56, wrote on Instagram Wednesday.

The new episodes are slated to air during the 2025-26 television season.

Set in Pittsburgh, the show is a contemporary re-imagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson detective adventures, which took place in 19th century London.

Holmes is presumed dead in this incarnation of the tale.
