What to Know About the ‘Watson’ Season 1 Finale
The Watson season 1 finale will be two parts. The first part is titled “Your Life’s Work, Part 1.”
“When part of the team falls ill after becoming targets of a sinister plot, it becomes an all-hands-on-deck situation to save them before it’s too late. Meanwhile, Watson announces an ambitious new project that he has been working on, on part one of the two-part season finale of the CBS Original series WATSON, Sunday, May 4 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs),” the press release says.

It was also announced that Randall Park will be returning as James Moriarty in part one.
‘Watson’ Stars Tease Season 1 Finale
The stars of Watson have already teased what’s to come in the show’s two-part season finale.
“You’ll be on the edge of your seat after the end of 12,” Rochelle Aytes, who plays Dr. Mary Morstan on the show, said in an interview with PopCulture.com in April 2025. “There’s gonna be decisions that need to be made, life or death decisions. Mary is going to be brought into the folds completely. She’s not just isolated with Watson. She is a part of the team helping make these decisions. And then, in the final episode, it’s just gonna be a roller coaster.”
She also said there’s “something else that’s gonna be really interesting actually with Watson and his past coming up when he is working with Sherlock Holmes. So his past is gonna come to the present. And I will be kind of involved with that, so that’s gonna be exciting too.”
Eve Harlow, who plays Dr. Ingrid Derian, said that the first part of the season 1 finale will have “a real big cliffhanger, so get ready for it.”
“Because you’re gonna be hanging on for a week until the second part,” the actress added. “But, yeah, I think it’s a deep exploration into things that we’ve already been exploring all season and finally getting some answers.”
Has ‘Watson’ Been Renewed for Season 2?
Watson has been renewed for season 2 at CBS, the network announced.
“I just wanted to come on here real quick and say thank you so much to everybody who supported and watched the show. Our cast, our crew, the writers, everybody involved worked crazy hard to make sure to bring you the best entertainment possible,” star Morris Chestnut said in a March 2025 Instagram video of the show’s renewal.
“The studio gave us so much unwavering support but none of this would have happened without you, the fans, supporting and watching the show,” he said. “Watson season 2! We’re going to do our very best to bring a bigger, stronger, faster, more entertaining season again next year.”
