CBS cancels 'Watson' and 'DMV' ahead of April 15 lineup
Entertainment
CBS is pulling the plug on two of its scripted shows, Watson and DMV, as part of its plans for the 2026-27 season.
Both series will wrap up soon: Watson airs its last episode on May 3, and DMV follows on May 11.
The move comes right before CBS drops its new lineup on April 15, and both shows were left out of January's early renewals due to low ratings.
Chestnut's 'Watson' and Dyer's 'DMV' struggled
Watson featured Morris Chestnut as Dr. John Watson running a clinic for rare disorders after Sherlock Holmes's death, despite a second-season renewal, Watson remained among the network's lowest-rated scripted shows and was canceled.
DMV was a freshman comedy led by Harriet Dyer; despite its quirky premise, it also struggled to find an audience.
