The stars of "Watson" are making the best of their cancellation after two seasons.

The medical drama, starring Morris Chestnut as the titular Sherlock Holmes character solving "House"-style medical mysteries, will not be renewed for a third season, CBS confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. The series, as well as the almost-kind-of-funny workplace comedy "DMW," will air their finales this spring.

"We are sad to see this great series go but its [sic] so worth watching!" Chestnut said in an Instagram story, promoting a clip from the Sunday, March 29, episode, in which Watson is reunited with Sherlock.

Rochelle Aytes, who plays Dr. Mary Morstan, also shared a teaser from Sunday's episode, writing on Instagram, "I am saddened by the news of our cancellation, but we still have a handful of entertaining episodes for you!"

These are the 10 TV shows you need to watch this spring

Watson premiered Jan. 26, 2025, and its second season premiered in October. The series finale will air May 3 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Tim Meadows comedy "DMV," a single-camera workplace sitcom following employees of the government agency in "Parks and Recreation" fashion, premiered in October. Its finale will air on May 11 at 8:30 p.m. ET, according to THR, after just one season.

'Marshals' renewed on CBS for Season 2 as 'Yellowstone' spinoff rides

Both shows had mixed reviews, with "Watson" earning 53% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes versus a 65% approval rating for "DMV." USA TODAY TV critic Kelly Lawler called "Watson" "derivative" as well as "utterly nonsensical and ridiculous," while "DMV" fared a bit better, with Lawler saying the series had potential despite no "stand-out spark."

'DMV,' 'Buffy' reboot, 'Palm Royale' among TV cancellations

The cancellations come days after Paramount+ axed "Star Trek: Starfleet Academy" and amid the reported cancellations of an upcoming "Buffy" reboot on Hulu and Kristen Wiig's "Palm Royale" on Apple TV.

Earlier this month, Paramount confirmed the renewal of a slate of other shows, including "Marshals," "Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage," "Matlock," "NCIS" and its "Origins" and "Sydney" spinoffs, "Boston Blue" and "FBI."

Bruce Springsteen brought a song and a message to the No Kings flagship rally in St. Paul, Minnesota.

The musician, known affectionately by fans as The Boss, performed his new protest song, "Streets of Minnesota," at the demonstration Saturday, March 28, one of hundreds of events held across the country to resist the leadership of President Donald Trump. Springsteen's song, released in January, chronicles marches held earlier this year in protest of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents' increasingly violent tactics in the Twin Cities.

"This past winter, federal troops brought death and terror to the streets of Minneapolis. Well, they picked the wrong city," the New Jersey-born singer-songwriter said on stage. "The power and the solidarity of the people of Minneapolis, of Minnesota, was an inspiration to the entire country."

Musician Bruce Springsteen performs during a "No Kings" protest outside the State Capitol building on March 28, 2026 in St Paul, Minnesota.

Springsteen's 'Born in the U.S.A.' joins Trump citizenship court fight

He continued: "Your strength and your commitment told us that this is still America. This reactionary nightmare and these invasions of American cities will not stand," referencing ICE operations across the country. "You gave us hope. You gave us courage, and for those who gave their lives, Renee Good, mother of three, brutally murdered. Alex Pretti, VA nurse, executed by ICE, shot in the back, and left to die in the street without even the decency of our lawless government investigating their deaths."

Pretti was shot and killed during a confrontation with federal agents who were conducting an immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis on Jan. 24. He was the second person, following Good, to be fatally shot by federal agents in Minneapolis since Trump commenced what he called the "largest immigration enforcement operation ever" in Minnesota.

"Their bravery, their sacrifice, and their names will not be forgotten," Springsteen said, beginning to sternly strum his guitar.

The performance was focused and intense, with the singer at one point changing the lyrics to include an expletive, blasting White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and former Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem.

Rock legend Bruce Springsteen took the stage on March 28, 2026, to perform his protest song "Streets of Minneapolis" at the Minnesota State Capitol in Saint Paul on Saturday. Springsteen performed during a "No Kings" protest — the third nationwide "No Kings" protest held against the Trump administration. Musicians Joan Baez and Maggie Rogers were also scheduled to perform at the protest.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz lauds Springsteen at 'No Kings' rally

Minnesota's Governor Tim Walz introduced Springsteen, praising his career "giving voice to the working class" and his popularity "across generations."

"It's my pleasure to be able to welcome somebody who has spent a lifetime giving voice to the working class, expressing our hopes and dreams, our fears, all of the things that makes us human, and has done that with a voice that resonated across generations," Walz said. "So I have to tell you we're damn sure about this. We need no damn kings. But I'll tell you what I'm glad we have. We do need a Boss. Please welcome Bruce Springsteen to the stage."

Folk legend Joan Baez, singer-songwriter Maggie Rogers, actress Jane Fonda and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., also appeared at the rally. Tom Morello, a founding member of Rage Against the Machine and part-time member of Springsteen's E Street Band, also made a surprise appearance.

Peter Alexander's new job revealed after 'Today' exit

It's a new day for former "Today" anchor Peter Alexander.

After Alexander announced he is leaving his role as NBC News' chief White House correspondent and coanchor of the "Today" show's Saturday edition, his new job has been revealed: He is joining MS NOW, where he will anchor the 11 a.m. hour and serve as chief national reporter and a breaking news anchor.

Alexander will also "contribute to sports and lifestyle programming across the VERSANT portfolio," MS NOW President Rebecca Kutler said in a memo to staff on Monday, March 30.

"For more than two decades, Peter has built a reputation for his professionalism, intrepid reporting, and sharp questioning of presidents of both parties," she said. "He is one of the most respected and beloved journalists in the Washington press corps, and we are honored to have him join our newsroom."

Peter Alexander is set to join MS NOW after leaving his role at NBC News and the "Today" show.

Alexander, who joined NBC News in 2004, announced his exit from the network on March 28 during Saturday's "Today." He said he made the decision so he could spend more time with his children, noting that he lives in Washington, D.C., a "trek" from the "Today" studio in New York City.

Peter Alexander leaving 'Today' show after 22 years with NBC News

"I've been away from my home more than 80 nights in the last seven months, more than 220 Friday nights away from my family in the last seven years," Alexander said. "So in this limited window before my daughters lose interest in hanging out with me — it's already happened quick — I'm eager to carve out a better balance between my personal and professional lives and to challenge myself with something new."

Alexander had covered the White House for NBC News since 2012, reporting on the presidential administrations of Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden. He became coanchor of the "Today" show's Saturday edition in 2018.

While announcing his exit on March 28, Alexander shared that he spoke about his decision to leave with Savannah Guthrie, who plans to return to the "Today" show on Monday, April 6, more than two months after the disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie.

MSNBC gets new name and logo in major shakeup, Rachel Maddow reacts

President Donald Trump speaks with Peter Alexander during a news briefing at the White House on March 20, 2020, in Washington, D.C.

"I had a chance to exchange messages with our friend Savannah, who I love so much, as well, and I'm thrilled that she's going to come back here, and we'll continue to pray for her," he said.

MS NOW, which stands for My Source News Opinion World, was formerly known as MSNBC. The news network now operates under Versant, a company spun off from NBCUniversal in 2025. Versant's portfolio also includes USA Network, Syfy, CNBC and Golf Channel.

How Working in Hollywood Broke My BrainGetty Images

You get into TV writing because you have things to say. You have a voice.

In theory, you know that voice is valuable if it lands you a staff writing job, a prize that grows more competitive every year. The entertainment industry is in free fall, as constantly merging companies slash spending to increase shareholder profit. A recent WGA report showed that there were 1,819 TV writing jobs in the 2023–24 season, compared to 3,011 in 2018–19.

But even if you do snag one of those rare jobs, it lasts for just a few months before you're on the hunt again. Your agents say they're doing everything they can, but just so you know, there's one show staffing right now, and it's gotten 400 submissions for two spots. There's nothing for you to do but crank out more writing samples to prove you're good enough to do the job you've already been doing for five or 10 or 20 years.

In meetings, producers and execs ask "what you're really excited about lately." The truth, which you are not allowed to say, is that what you're really excited about is whatever they're really excited about, because actually you're really, really excited about accruing enough earnings to continue qualifying for your guild-covered health insurance. In fact, you're excited to the point that a better word would be desperate, but you must disguise this with fake confidence if you don't want to disgust them.

So you become an expert at figuring out what people want before they tell you and presenting that as what you want. In other words, you lie.

Tina Fey was lauded for declaring, "Authenticity is dangerous and expensive" on Las Culturistas in 2024, but I'd already fully internalized that lesson. Years earlier, when Fey herself concluded our hour-long staffing meeting with "Nice to meet you, Hannah," I didn't even consider correcting her. I wouldn't dream of causing friction or being difficult by having the wrong name. I was just happy to be there! (I didn't get the job.)

Fey's authenticity comment was a joke, sort of, but it's one that speaks to the culture of fear that pervades a painfully contracting industry in a country under fascist leadership.

I didn't realize the full effect this culture had on me until I took a break to write a novel. I'd temporarily moved across the country to live in my husband's childhood bedroom while he finished graduate school. It wasn't like I had any professional reasons to stick around L.A. My novel was about a TV writer, and as I drew on my own experiences to inform hers, it struck me anew how pathetic they were. I'd been in some incredibly warm, collaborative rooms, but I'd also been in one where the second a certain writer left the room, the rest of us spent his entire bathroom break viciously mocking his harmless habit of chewing ice. On another job, a text thread including everyone but one writer was devoted solely to making fun of her pitches and personal stories. To feel secure in a job this precarious, you must always ensure that someone else is lower in the pecking order.

I've said, "Oh, I love that show" about a show I hate, in case the person I'm talking to knows someone who worked on it. I've sat in a room full of hungry adults for two hours, too afraid to point out to the showrunner that lunch was waiting outside the glass door of the writers' room, because no one wanted to be the first person to suggest taking a break.

Away from my Hollywood environment for the first time in a decade, I started to notice the ways it had shaped me even outside of work. I realized I didn't trust my friends when they expressed their affection or complimented me. If I was so willing to lie all the time, why would any of the nice things other people said to me be true?

Meanwhile, I had a hard time advocating for any needs of my own. I had learned from the industry that I was utterly replaceable. If I dared to complain that a friend's flakiness or offhand comment had hurt my feelings, I could simply be swapped out for someone younger, greener, and more in touch with authentic Gen Z slang.

This mindset can have more serious consequences too. In late 2023, writers I knew started losing their agents and managers for posting online in protest of the genocide in Gaza. I told myself I wasn't posting anything because I didn't post on X anymore—whose mind could I possibly change in my little echo chamber of woke comedians?—not because I was afraid of getting dropped by my own reps. But I couldn't deny this final piece of evidence: I'd gotten so obsessed with appearing cooperative, grateful, and compliant that, on both personal and political levels, I officially stood for nothing.

As I began drafting my novel and creative instincts popped up that made me laugh (what if this chapter were entirely made up of scheduling emails from agency assistants? What if my protagonist clogged a series of toilets throughout the book?), I waited to be shot down before I remembered that no one was standing over my shoulder to give me notes. If I liked it, it went in the book. Slowly, I learned to take price in my own voice again. I was proving to myself, page after page, that I wasn't replaceable. No one else could write the exact story I had to tell. My depiction of Hollywood might piss people off, but that was a far lesser risk than continuing to constantly censor myself to curry favor with anyone and everyone.

As I write this essay, there's more pressure every day on artists to sand down the edges of our work. To pitch TV shows dumb enough that people can watch them while playing Block Blast and folding their laundry. And sooner or later, to protect our own careers by capitulating to the fickle demands of an authoritarian regime.

Sure, authenticity is dangerous and expensive. But without it, we have nothing.

Gina Gershon says she turned down 'Friday the 13th' role over topless scene

Anna Kaufman, USA TODAYMon, March 30, 2026 at 1:41 PM UTC

Gina Gershon is speaking out on her decision to walk away from a role in "Friday the 13th."

The "Showgirls" actress, 63, said in a recent interview that she did not appear in Part 2 of the famed horror franchise because the part she was offered included an "exploitative" topless scene.

Gershon told Fox News Digital in a conversation published Sunday, March 29, that the decision helped her learn to trust her gut early on in the movie business. "I was offered a lead in that movie," she told the outlet. "And, of course, I was so excited to act in movies, but it definitely felt kind of exploitative to me and a little silly that right before she gets killed, her top has to come off."

Gina Gershon attends "The Testament Of Ann Lee" New York screening at Crosby Street Hotel on Dec. 9, 2025, in New York City.

Gershon's revelation comes ahead of the release of her new memoir, "AlphaPussy: How I Survived the Valley and Learned to Love My Boobs." In it, she details the scene, per Fox, writing: "At the time, those kinds of slasher movies always had girls dying with their breasts exposed…That seemed pretty lame to me: exploitation 101."

"I was really lucky that I had a father who really taught me how to believe in my own decisions," Gershon told Fox. "It wasn't like I had to rebel against my family. I remember asking him about it, thinking he was going to say, 'No daughter of mine is going to do that!' And he said, 'It's your body. If you're comfortable with it, I'm comfortable with it.'"

That's a wrap on the 2026 Oscar race! Awards season came to an end on March 15 with the 98th Academy Awards, where "One Battle After Another" was crowned best picture in a competitive race with "Sinners." Leading up to Hollywood's biggest night, Oscar hopefuls spent the first half of March stepping out at star-studded events, from the Actor Awards to the Writers Guild Awards.Scroll through for the best celebrity photos of March 2026 so far, starting with, from left, Jessie Buckley, Michael B. Jordan and Amy Madigan at the Oscars on March 15, 2026.

She continued: "When I sat and thought about it, I just thought, 'I don't really want to do this. I wasn't comfortable with it. It seemed silly to me.' Not that I had anything against nudity — I grew up on European films — but only if it makes sense for the character and the story. But when it just seems silly, I don't know. It just felt like it was something that wasn't for me."

The scene did not end up making it into the 1981 film, and Gershon made her onscreen debut the same year with a small role in "Beatlemania: The Movie." She went on to appear in a string of movies through the mid-'80s and '90s, propelling her rise to fame.

More recently, Gershon has appeared in supporting roles on the CW teen drama "Riverdale" and the NBC medical show "New Amsterdam."
