'Matlock' Season 2 Predictions: Big Changes for Maddy, Olympia, and the Whole Team

Matlock has been a breakout hit for CBS and quickly received an early renewal. It was nice to watch the season without worrying if the show would come back. Now that the freshman season has ended and we know who hid the documents (Julian) the team here at The TV Cave have opinions about what we want to see in season two. 

Let's dive into our Matlock Season 2 Predictions.

Maddy and Olympia’s friendship has been the heart of season 1 on Matlock. They had a rocky start but over the course of the season these two powerhouse women really built a strong foundation. Even though Maddy joined the firm under false pretense, her friendship with Olympia was anything but false. 

Matlock season two needs to focus on the return of Olympia and Maddy’s friendship. How they might rebuild their bond, especially since it was essentially destroyed once the truth came out should be a key storyline throughout. 

Since it seems that Julian and Olympia’s marriage is really done for, let’s see Elijah return and sweep Olympia off her feet as they had undeniable chemistry that brought so much energy to the show. Last we saw Elijah he did have a girlfriend, but let’s be honest, we don’t even remember her name. But if Elijah and Olympia are really over, maybe a new guy can enter the game. 

It would be exciting to watch Olympia strike out on her own, perhaps even consider starting her own practice. Exploring what it would look like for her to go up against Senior would add an interesting dynamic to the story. How will the fallout with Julian impact Senior and Olympia?

Also, Olympia’s family, especially her late father, needs to be explored more. It would be great to dive deeper into who he was and the impact he had on her life.

Now Maddy has a lot to unpack next season as well. How will Alfie’s relationship with his biological father affect the dynamic between Maddy and her husband? That storyline has so much potential for drama and emotional growth. And speaking of Maddy’s husband, there is so much tension there with her deciding to go back to work. Will any other co-workers find out about her deception? Will she start her own practice? So many unanswered questions and we cannot wait for the answers. 

Sarah is about to get found out regarding her case and Billy may be a father. So much rich story to dive into next season and not just with the two leads. 

Matlock is such a great show, with so many directions the story can take. We are truly excited for its return and can’t wait for season two!
