The latest update on Matlockseason 2 confirms the return of an unexpected character. The breakout hit legal dramedy ended on a note of uncertainty for Kathy Bates' titular Madeline Matlock. Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) has figured out her secret. But heading into Matlock season 2, which premieres later this year on CBS, Matty may have bigger problems to contend with.

Matty's home life is at a bit of a crossroads, whether that relates to her grandson Alfie or her marriage. There are no immediate answers about how either of those questions will be resolved, but the wait for answers just got a bit shorter.

The official Instagram for Matlock on CBS has shared a cast photo to celebrate that season 2 is now in production. The photo features all the core actors, including Jason Ritter, David Del Rio, Leah Lewis, Sam Anderson, Beau Bridges, and Aaron Harris, who plays Alfie, along with Marshall and Bates.

Matlock season two is officially in production and we have all the photos from the first table read of the new season!

Kathy Bates joined the rest of the cast for the table read on Wednesday (July 9) at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.

Also in attendance were Skye P. Marshall as Olympia Lawrence, Jason Ritter as Julian Markston, David Del Rio as Billy Martinez, Leah Lewis as Sarah Franklin, Aaron Harris as Alfie Kingston, Sam Anderson as Edwin Kingston, Beau Bridges as Howard “Senior” Markston, and Francisco Chacin as Stuart Gray.

Matlock‘s first season ended as television’s #1 new series and #2 series overall of the 2024-25 season.
