With CBS picking up 10 shows for the 2026-2027 season, sophomore drama Watson and freshman comedy DMV are both on the bubble for next season. “Space at CBS will be tight on the drama side,” says Deadline’s Nellie Andreeva. “With 10 hourlong scripted series already renewed, two new ones, Cupertino and Einstein, waiting in the wings with series orders for 2026-27, and Marshals yet to premiere, it may be hard to find space for Watson. The medical drama set in the Sherlock Holmes universe did respectable business in its midseason launch last season on Sundays behind Tracker, earning a Season 2 renewal. The series was initially held back for another midseason run on Sundays before being summoned to the fall schedule to fill in for the delayed CIA and landed behind FBI on Mondays. Watson, which is set to return to Sundays after its winter break, saw its ratings decline in the new Monday berth. It currently ranks as the lowest-rated scripted series on the network.”
