Watch Watson Season 2: Preview

CBS’ twisty modern Sherlock update returns for a second outing, with a whole host of new medical mysteries for Morris Chesnut’s good doctor to unravel. And with old foes put to bed, it’s time for some old friends to resurface. Read on as we explain below how to watch Watson season 2 online – and stream from anywhere with a VPN.

Coming from Elementary showrunner Craig Sweeny, season 1 of show saw John Watson leave London for Pittsburgh following the supposed death of his good friend at the hands of the dastardly James Moriarty (Randall Park). Putting his investigative skills to good use, Watson opened the Holmes Clinic for Diagnostic Medicine, specialising in the treatment of rare diseases.

But with Moriarty vanquished, it’s back to business as usual at the start of season 2, with Watson tasked with a personal case after Mary’s (Rochelle Aytes) mother accidentally poisons herself while suffering from an aggressive form of dementia, resulting in her believing she’s 25 and pregnant with her first child.

But as the team of doc-tectives race to find a cure, Watson faces an even larger mystery, as the long-presumed-dead Sherlock Holmes (Robert Carlyle) returns. Anyone familiar with almost any iteration of the consulting detective will know the incident at Reichenbach Falls is rarely the end for Holmes, so it’s no surprise to see him resurface here, and Carlyle is inspired casting for a character so many of the greats have had a crack at.

After a gripping first season, it sounds like full stream ahead for CBS’ latest Sherlock venture, so read on for all you need to watch Watson season 2 online and stream from anywhere.
