Charlies Angels star Lucy Liu is reportedly playing Sherlock Holmes' first female Dr Watson in a modern TV update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective stories.
The 43-year-old actress will team up with British actor Jonny Lee Miller for new US series Elementary, The Hollywood reporter said.
Set in New York, Liu's Watson will be a former surgeon and Holmes' sober companion as he struggles with life after rehab.
