siri commands from apple watch to apple tv

is there a way to use the apple watch in the same way as the apple tv remote when it comes to siri commands?

i want to speak into the watch, and say something like "show me movies starring gene wilder" and for the results to display on the tv screen which is, of course, connected to apple tv series 4.

what happens is the results display on the watch instead of the tv.

i have my iphone 7 set to output to apple tv instead of iphone - and this works fine when it comes to music....but i dont want to pick the video or song first from the watch, i want it to just play on the tv like it does with the apple tv siri remote.
