Matlock wrapped the first half of Season 2 back in December on the cliffhanger reveal that none other than Julian had connected the dots about Olympia's alliance with Matty that happens to leave him out. Now, the hit drama is returning in the 2026 TV schedule, and Jason Ritter opened up to CinemaBlend about how the two women "can't go back" to before Julian knew what they were up to. It'll be messy for the characters, but was "so satisfying" for him as an actor.
The winter premiere of Matlock Season 2 airs on Thursday, February 26 at 9 p.m. ET on CBS to follow up on the fall finale with its tragic twist. (You can stream the fall finale with a Paramount+ subscription now.) Called "Collateral," the first episode of the new year will feature both Matty and Olympia putting together collateral for Julian after his trust was broken over the discovery that the two women were deeply in cahoots.
