‘Watson’ Creator On Premiere Twist & Moriarty Casting Reveal, Sherlock Easter Eggs & ‘House’ Comparisons
CBS returns to the world of Arthur Conan Doyle with Watson. Creator Craig Sweeny talks with Deadline about the twist in the premiere episode and more.
Sweeny teased the Moriarty-Watson storyline, two other Sherlock universe characters who will be making an appearance on the show and shared a couple of canon easter eggs planted in Watson’s office. Additionally, Sweeny spoke about the genesis of the idea for a medical drama about Sherlock’s confidant and Chestnut’s casting in the role, Watson’s internal struggles, the show’s similarities to (and differences from) House and the decision to have two identical twin young doctors played by the same actor, Peter Mark Kendall. So I put out tendrils through people I’d worked with to find a really great medical partner, somebody I could bring in at the level of story concept who could guide us and make sure the science was accurate.
