Yesterday, we told you that Lucy Liu has been cast as a female Dr. Watson in the CBS‘ Sherlock Holmes pilot Elementary. Now, more information has come to light about the shows premise, and the back-stories of Sherlock and “Joan”.
Deadline reveals the following details about the controversial pilot.
The project, written by Robert Doherty, is set in present day and stars Jonny Lee Miller as eccentric Brit Sherlock Holmes, a former consultant to Scotland Yard whose addiction problems led him to a rehab center in New York City. Just out of rehab, Holmes now lives in Brooklyn with “sober companion” Joan Watson (Liu), a former surgeon who lost her license after a patient died, while consulting for the NYPD.
