Another familiar face is joining the cast of Watson for its second season. Today it was reported that NCIS: Hawai’i alum, Noah Mills, was signing on for a spot on the CBS series led by Morris Chestnut. The casting marks a reunion between the pair after they previously worked alongside one another on NBC’s one-season-running drama, The Enemy Within. Set for a premiere on Monday, October 13, the title is just one of the highly-anticipated projects that will appear on the network this fall alongside others, including Season 1 of the Donnie Wahlberg-led spin-off Blue Bloods and Season 3 of Justin Hartley’s run as Colter Shaw in Tracker.
Season 2 is already heating up with the recent announcement that Trainspotting alum, Robert Carlyle will join the call sheet as the legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes. As for Mills, he’ll appear in the production as Beck Wythe, a Pittsburgh native who is returning to the Iron City after having run his life into the ground in California’s Silicon Valley. Back in the town of the Steelers and Penguins, he’ll cross paths with Eve Harlow’s Ingrid Derian while the two attend a group therapy session for folks attempting to manage their Cluster B personality disorders. Soon, the duo form a strongly-connected bond that will either help them face similar challenges or that will put them on a risk-fueled path.
Aside from his three-season gig as Jesse on NCIS: Hawai’i, audiences will recognize Mills from numerous other small-screen productions, including Marvel’s The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, CBS’ 2 Broke Girls, NBC’s The Brave, and ABC’s The Baker. In film, the actor has credits in Sex and the City 2 and the lifetime feature, Santa’s Boots.
What Else Do We Know About Season 2 of ‘Watson’?
The Season 1 finale of Watson saw Chestnut’s titular character avoid saving the life of his nemesis and all-around trouble-causing villain, Moriarty (Randall Park). During an interview, series creator, Craig Sweeny, teased how that decision would affect the primary character in the upcoming set of episodes, revealing,
“I think you’ll see it particularly in the season premiere. We’re doing a lot of new narrative stuff in Season 2. It’s not all about looking back on what happened. But I think he does enter the season with a sense that I might not know myself as well as I thought I did, even though he probably wouldn’t do it differently. I think he’s really shaken and rattled by it and it’s affecting the way he’s dealing with the people around him.”
