Ahead Of Watson’s Fall Finale ‘Personal Crisis,’ The Showrunner Addressed The ‘Understandable’ Fan Theory About John And Sherlock

The upcoming end of the 2025 TV schedule means that Watson fans are nearly out of medical conundrums for the year, but CBS’ hospital drama is set to enter hiatus on a strong note on December 15. Not only did the Watson team bring back a memorable guest star from the first season, but Robert Carlyle will return as Sherlock Holmes. John had more questions than answers about his old friend the last time they interacted in Season 2, and according to showrunner Craig Sweeny, that plot is going to thicken in the fall finale.

He spoke with CinemaBlend about the final Season 2 case of the year before the 2026 TV schedule, as well as the popular fan theory about Watson and Sherlock.
