A new series based on Sherlock Holmes is in development... but there’s a catch.
Titled Watson, the new TV show will reportedly not feature the deerstalker-wearing detective as a character at all.
Instead, the programme will focus solely on the exploits of Holmes’ dutiful assistant, Dr John H Watson.
According to TV Line, Watson, which will air on the US network CBS, follows Watson in the aftermath of Sherlock Holmes’ death.
In the series, Holmes has been killed by his criminal nemesis, Professor James Moriarty.
The show will be written by Craig Sweeny, who has some history with the subject matter, having previously written on the the CBS series Elementary.
Running from 2012 to 2019, Elementary starred Johnny Lee Miller as Holmes and Lucy Liu as a gender-flipped Dr Watson. However, the new series will reportedly be entirely unrelated to this.
Deadline previously described the premise of the series as follows:...

A slew of new images have been released for Guy Ritchie's highly anticipated Sherlock Holmes. The film, which is due in theatres later this year, is director Guy Ritchie's own take on the source material, with the film consciously moving away from more classic interpretations.
USA Today have also spoken to the actors on set, and have seen further proof that this Sherlock Holmes is nothing like the one featured in Arthur Conan Doyle's famous books:
Jude Law's dapper Dr. John H. Watson, preparing to leave both his bachelor and sleuthing days behind, packs up his belongings in the tidier portion of the apartment. Robert Downey Jr.'s wiry Sherlock Holmes, deeply perturbed by his friend's pending departure after a decade together as crime-fighting colleagues, answers a knock at the door.
Suddenly, a recently deceased body is dropped on a table in the middle of the room by two constables.
