Watson’s Shocking Pregnancy Twist with Peter Mark Kendall’s Adam

CBS’ medical drama Watson has just revealed a surprising pregnancy involving one of its main characters.

In the episode that aired on Monday, November 3, Adam (Peter Mark Kendall) felt anxious as he and his fiancée Lauren (Amanda Crew) dove deeper into wedding planning. He even found a way to skip a cake tasting—until Lauren brought the dessert to him as a heartfelt announcement of her pregnancy.

Later, Adam confided in his twin brother, Stephens (also portrayed by Kendall), expressing that he wasn’t feeling as thrilled about the news as he thought he should be. Despite attempting to put on a brave face, Adam questioned whether he was truly ready to embrace fatherhood. It remains to be seen if he will share his concerns with Lauren as the season unfolds.

Set in the world inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle‘s Sherlock Holmes stories, Watson (Morris Chestnut) takes place six months after Moriarty (Randall Park) has killed the iconic detective. Watson has been coping with the loss of his best friend by restarting his medical career as the head of a clinic focused on treating rare disorders.

Initially, Season 1 centered on Watson’s conflict with Moriarty, but the upcoming season is anticipated to bring Sherlock Holmes (Robert Carlyle) into the mix—even with his character’s offscreen demise preceding the series events.

Before the show’s October premiere, Chestnut, 56, and Rochelle Aytes hinted at the uncertain futures of beloved characters.

“In the world of Watson, I can assure you that nobody is safe,” Chestnut revealed in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly. “We approach each situation on a case-by-case basis, with life-or-death stakes involved. No one in the cast is immune to this.”

The series has previously showcased the tough choices Watson and his team had to make between Stephens and Adam. They ultimately decided to go ahead with life-saving brain surgery for Stephens, while also finding a way to save Adam.

“It is a procedural show, combining traditional case-of-the-week elements with an overarching narrative,” Chestnut noted. “Each week presents a new case that we must diagnose and resolve. However, there will also be plenty of unexpected surprises and twists in the storyline.”

Chestnut expressed excitement about Watson broadening its storytelling approach.

“We’re diving deeper into the characters this season. Previously, the narrative was heavily influenced by Watson’s struggles with Moriarty and the loss of Sherlock Holmes. This year, we are moving away from that focus, allowing for richer character development,” he explained.

Watson airs on CBS on Mondays at 10 p.m. ET, with new episodes available for streaming the following day on Paramount+.
