Craig Sweeny wrote the premiere episode of the series and serves as showrunner and executive producer.
Chestnut is also an EP.
The difference this time is its Watson in the spotlight.
This is Watson front and center, and its told from Watsons perspective and a medical investigation perspective.
Thats what makes it different.
The series starts as Holmes life ends at the hands of Moriarty.
Does Holmes and Watsons arch enemy show up?
Chestnut is coy but teases that the iconic adversary may have a role to play.
I will say this: Moriarty is the nemesis and is a very challenging Nemesis to dispose of.
Wearing his exec producer hat, Chestnut told Deadline about the teams conscious effort to create a harmonious set.
