Warning: spoilers are ahead for the winter premiere of Matlock Season 2 in the 2026 TV schedule, called “Collateral” and available streaming now with a Paramount+ subscription.
Matlock had a major cliffhanger to resolve when Season 2 returned in the new year, with Julian ending 2025 by finally figuring out what Olympia and Matty have had going on… sort of. He certainly had real leverage for the first time, and actor Jason Ritter found it “so satisfying” that his character was holding his own. That is, until the very end when he learned that there’s a whole lot more to Matty than how she presented herself at Jacobson Moore, and Ritter opened up about what learning the truth changes for Julian as the season continues.
