The legal drama “Matlock” with the legendary Katie Bates in the title role became one of the most important hits of the past television season.
The restart of the series with the same name in the late 80s not only succeeded in attracting attention thanks to a well-known name, but also to offer the audience a fresh layout-a mix of a classic judicial show with elements of a espionage thriller.
Critics praised the game of Bates, the audience loved her charismatic Matti, and the reviews were one of the best of all new products of the season. CBS did not think long and announced the extension last fall. Now, before the premiere of the second season, there are still a few months.
What is already known about the release date:
- Premiere: Sunday, October 12, 2025
- Further on the schedule: From October 16, new episodes will be released on Thursday.
Who returns to the new season
There is not yet an official list of actors, but everything indicates that the main team remains unchanged. Katie Bates, in her own words, is “in love with the project” and hopes that he will last for many years. Sky P. Marshall, who played the younger partner of the company Olympia Lawrence and Matti’s good friend, will probably also return – their tandem became the emotional support of the show.
The audience will probably see David del Rio and Leah Lewis again in the images of young lawyers Billy Martinez and Sarah Franklin. Their storylines remained open, which means that there is a place in the new series to develop their characters.
What will the season 2
The final of the first part of Matlock opened several large intrigues in one go. Matti was given a job at Jacobson Moore under a strange name to find out which of the lawyers the pharmaceutical company helped hide the danger of opioids. This research is associated with the personal tragedy of the heroine – the death of the daughter of an overdose.
The last series showed that behind this is the senior partner Julian Markeston (Jason Ritter), who, according to his father, acted, according to his father, the founder of the Company of Howard (Bo Bridges). At the same time, Olympia already knows about the misconduct of Julian’s and Matti still had a challenge – a man appeared on her threshold and claimed that he was the father of Alfie, the grandson of Matti, whom she takes off after the death of her daughter.
In the new season, spectators await the development of these conflicts, new legal affairs and, possibly, the moment of truth, when colleagues learn the truth about the real person of Matti.
