Sherlock Holmes drama Elementary starts on Start TV with a New Year’s Day marathon, before the show, starring Lucy Liu as Dr. Joan Watson and Jonny Lee Miller as Holmes, slides into the noon and 1 p.m. slots Monday through Sunday.
The show, which ran for seven seasons on CBS, is set in modern-day Manhattan.
Elementary “offered a fresh twist to the Sherlock Holmes story, a modern-day version centering on a police consultant living in New York City who is recently out of a drug rehabilitation program,” according to Start TV. “His sober companion, former surgeon turned addiction specialist, Dr. Joan Watson, is hired to support his post-rehab regimen, but over time realizes she also has a talent for investigation. Together, the duo demonstrates an uncanny ability to solve cases.”
Start TV will run 28 episodes in the marathon, which goes January 1-2.
Elementary wrapped in 2019.
