An American reimagining of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic, Sherlock Holmes, is all set to feature actress Lucy Liu as the detective's famous sidekick, Dr Watson.
Britain's The Telegraph reported the 43-year-old Charlie's Angels star will become the first woman ever to play the character in Elementary - a modern take of Holmes' exploits set in present-day New York.
Actor John Lee Miller plays the title character opposite Liu.
American network CBS will launch the pilot soon. The show includes 'big-budget reworking' of original Sherlock Holmes plots and is also the fourth such recent rebirth of the London detective in popular culture.
The first two were movies starring Robert Downey Jr and then there was the BBC show starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman.
