Matlock is back from another break in the second half of this season, and they’ve hit the ball rolling. This episode didn’t have as much going on as has been happening in the previous episodes this season, but a decent amount of progress has been made with some of our underlying plots this season.  Following the bombshell at the end of Episode 11 that Shae had tampered with the jury to get the vote to sway in Jacobson-Moore’s favor, we are seeing the fallout and the immediate

If you just settled onto your couch with a bowl of popcorn and a burning desire to see Kathy Bates dismantle a corporate legal team, I have some devastating news. Your remote is fine, your cable bill is paid, and no, the world hasn’t ended, it’s just March Madness . Tonight, the CBS Thursday night lineup has been unceremoniously shoved into a locker to make room for 40 minutes of college students squeaking sneakers across a hardwood floor. If you’re looking for Matlock , Gh

Character’s stories are weaving together and evolving this week on Matlock.  For probably the first time this season, I felt like everyone’s stories were separate and moving forward, but also things were crossing over and setting up the future really well. It was also one of those episodes where it really flew by because it didn’t feel like much happened, but so many things are full steam ahead.  First, we have Matty and Julian having to work together to crack the Wellbrexa c

Jane the Virgin No More: Gina Rodriguez Is Crashing the Matlock Season 2 Finale Just when you thought the halls of Jacobson & Moore couldn’t get any more crowded with high-stakes drama and impeccably tailored suits, CBS goes and drops a casting bomb. Gina Rodriguez is officially joining the Matlock Season 2 finale and if you’re sensing a theme here, you aren’t alone. It seems showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman treats the Matlock cast like a high school reunion and we are absol

The emotions are running high and lines are blurring in this week’s Matlock.  A lot of this episode is focused on bringing Julian into the fold of Matty and Olympia’s story. With where we left off last week, Julian now knows that Matty is not who she says she is and this was all to gather information for her case against Jacobson-Moore. This leaves him at an odd spot, he has to work with someone that he doesn’t trust and does not want to get to know better, but if he doesn’t,

The latest Matlock sneak peek introduces us to Henry Haber , playing a floater-pool associate named Hunter, and he’s already making waves, mostly by trying to initiate physical contact with a very confused Olympia. A New Breed of Associate Hunter isn't here to follow the rules of decorum that Matty (Kathy Bates) so masterfully manipulates or that Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) strictly enforces. In a first look at Season 2, Episode 10, "The Greater Good," Hunter makes his grand

We’re back in business! Matlock is back on this week and they’re stepping up their game. Everyone’s storylines are getting fully ramped up and I think this last half of Season 2 is about to be absolutely insane television.  We open back up with the reveal of Julian finding out that Matty and Olympia have been working together and lying to him for months. We really see Jason Ritter shine in this episode, for most of the show he’s given a good performance but really hasn’t had

CBS Studios has officially concluded a secondary internal review regarding the dismissal of actor David Del Rio from the hit legal drama Matlock. After revisiting the circumstances surrounding his October 2025 departure, the network has announced it will stand by the original decision to terminate his contract. This final ruling ends months of speculation concerning a potential return for the actor who portrayed associate attorney Billy Martinez. The controversy began during

After a winter hiatus that felt longer than a jury deliberation, the Matlock reboot is officially back, and the stakes have never been higher. Returning with the highly anticipated Season 2, Episode 9, titled "Collateral," the series proves that Kathy Bates isn’t just carrying the show, she’s dragging it into the upper echelons of must-watch TV. The Midseason Premiere: Legal Drama Meets High-Stakes Betrayal When we last left the hallowed halls of Jacobson Moore, the tension

If you were hoping for a radical shake-up of the broadcast landscape, you clearly haven’t been paying attention to CBS. The network that essentially invented the “if it ain’t broke, don’t touch it” philosophy just dumped a massive bucket of renewals on our desks, confirming that 10 of your favorite (or most tolerated) series are coming back for the 2026–2027 season. It’s a good day to be a procedural fan and an even better day to be a CBS executive who enjoys consistent, if p

CBS’s Matlock  revival has quietly become one of those shows you start watching “out of curiosity” and then aggressively defend in group chats. Now the Kathy Bates–led legal drama is adding another reason to tune in: Edwin Hodge is officially set to guest star on Matlock  Season 2 and the casting feels like a smart, slightly sneaky flex. Hodge, best known to TV fans for his run on FBI: Most Wanted  and roles in The Terminal List , is stepping into the Matlock  universe as Lan

We have reached the mid-season finale for Matlock Season 2, and wow, I am speechless. This was a perfect Mid-Season Finale and I am already itching for the return in February. We have really pushed all of the current storylines forward and are left on major cliffhangers and wanting to see where our cast is heading when they come back to our screens.  We open to an anxious Olympia and Matlock due to Senior acting strange when he was in the office that morning. This leads them

Matlock  Season 2 is heating up with some exciting new additions to its cast. CBS’s legal drama has officially welcomed Henry Haber  and Sarah Wright Olsen , promising fresh energy, new dynamics, and plenty of courtroom intrigue for the series’ return in early 2026. The first half of Season 2 was marked by dramatic changes behind the scenes, most notably the exit of series regular David Del Rio. Del Rio’s character, Billy Martinez, made his final appearance in Episode 7, and

Fans of CBS’s legal drama Matlock  got a shocking twist recently: David Del Rio, who has played the charmingly cunning Billy Martinez, has officially bid farewell to the series. According to showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman, Del Rio’s final episode as Billy  has already aired, leaving viewers buzzing and wondering how the show plans to handle his sudden absence. For those keeping score, Billy’s last on-screen moments appeared in Season 2, Episode 7 , which aired on December 4,

Matlock is FINALLY back this week and I couldn’t be more excited to see this show returning to our screens this week. This week’s episode was pretty solid and felt like it flew by. This episode felt like a builder in Olympia’s character and backstory progression, and we see Matty’s issues in her personal life coming to a head this week. Even though Olympia is one of the major players in this show, I still feel like there is always more to learn about a character’s past outsid

Nothing but perfection yet again for this week’s episode of Matlock. This week really feels like we are moving a little outside of the Matty/Olympia friendship angst to our supporting cast and the overall arc that is happening in the world around them. Not to say that we have moved on from that week, but we get some good advancement for the Jacobson-Moore arc and a some movement for Sarah and Julian’s character progression.  Our case of the week is focused on a group of nuns

TV Cave readers, brace yourselves. Emmy winner Vernée Watson is stepping into the world of legal drama, guest-starring on Matlock  in the upcoming episode titled “Prior Bad Acts.”  Airing Thursday, Dec. 4 at 9:00 PM ET/PT on CBS and streaming on Paramount+, Watson’s appearance promises family drama, courtroom tension, and just the right amount of TV sass. The official synopsis reads: “Olympia works to repair her relationship with her family after she takes on a case involving

Once again, the creatives behind Matlock continue to raise the bar every single week! Episode 5 was absolute perfection and just amped me up even more than I already was for the rest of this season. We are still continuing the major arc of Matty and Olympia’s relationship and the tests it continues to be put through. We also got the addition of Julian into the mix, after his somewhat of a departure from Jacobson Moore, he is trying to find his footing and build up skills to s

I know I said last week’s episode was one of my faves this season, but this episode was actually perfection and I think it’s my favorite. This week we are delving deeper into Olympia and Matty’s feud and having to work together, showing more of Matty’s past with her daughter & how current issues at work and home are affecting her, and a lot of classic Matlock comedic relief.  Matty and Olympia are starting to work together instead of being at odd’s with each other and as they

Another really strong episode of Matlock in the books again. This episode is following a lot of the previous week’s storylines and the king is right back into the chaos of what’s currently going on in everyone’s lives. I think this episode is really solidifying that Matty & Olympia are not that different after all and as much as they have to overcome, they still need each other and care for each other. We also got a good bit of Sarah (and Billy) in this episode and I’m glad t
