"Matlock" Season 2 Preview - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Fall TV Preview 2025: Matlock
Sunday, Oct. 12, at 8:30 pm (CBS, special night)
Thursday, Oct. 16 at 9 pm (regular time slot premiere)

Six months will have passed for viewers by the time Season 2 arrives, but it’ll have been a mere instant for Matty, Olympia and Julian.

“You find out very quickly what Olympia and Julian decided in the bank, and what that means for Matty,” showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman tells TVLine.

“I will just tease that Matty is not the only person in control this year; the fact that Olympia, at times, has more information than Matty becomes significant.”

Worry not, even with that shift in dynamic, "Matlock" remains “the same show” that earned it freshman hit status, Urman promises.

“Matty will continue to surprise us and Olympia also will surprise us.”

Turning to family matters, Urman is mum on what Billy and baby momma Claudia decide, but does share that we’ll meet Sarah’s family to learn “where she came from”; the arrival of Alfie’s possible father, Joey, will “reframe” the trauma Matty and Edwin went through with daughter Ellie’s death; and Senior’s “least-favorite ex-wife,” Eva (Justina Machado), could prove to be “an asset or a liability” to someone.

BONUS SPOILER!:

Matty’s “Deep Throat” source at Jacobson Moore, Mrs. Belvin, resurfaces in Episode 2 and “is pretty integral” to Season 2, Urman hints.
