Further proof that CBS’ in-the-works Sherlock Holmes reboot will take the iconic franchise in a radical new direction: The network has cast Lucy Liu as Watson! 

TVLine has learned that Liu has been tapped to play Watson toJonny Lee Miller‘s Sherlock in Elementary, the network’s modern-day take on the famed detective saga.

Another key change: Sherlock and Watson now live in New York City.

SO basically

I feel like this guarantees Johnlock.

Canon. Johnlock.

Jonny Lee Miller? Did somebody say Jonny Lee Miller?! ON MY TELEVISION SET AGAIN?!!

I literally just barked: GREAT, NOW IT WON’T BE GAY. 

I love Lucy but now I’m just sitting here thinking how much RAD potential a female-centric Sherlock interpretation could be.

    MTE. No problem at all with Watson being a woman, only that Holmes isn’t ALSO a woman.
