We’re solely beginning our rounds on the 2025 TV schedule, however I have already got some dangerous information for these of you who’re watching CBS’ hit drama Matlock. Sadly, we’ve nonetheless obtained a little bit of a wait till the primary case of the 12 months sees Kathy Bates’ authorized double agent making her means again to our screens. Nonetheless, we do know once we’ll be again within the workplaces of Jacobson & Moore, and with that information comes some hopes that I feel different followers will share of their hearts whereas we wait.
When Matlock Will Return In 2025
The primary episode after Matlock’s 2024 fall finale is ready to air on Thursday, January 30, 2025. Scheduled in its typical 9 p.m. ET time slot, Episode 1×09 – “Associates” – will hopefully give us a bit of extra info on that shocking cliffhanger that noticed Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) confront Julian (Jason Ritter) on that bombshell revelation he made in Episode 1×08. As for “Associates,” right here’s what the official synopsis tells us about what to anticipate:
Matty helps Olympia tackle Elijah’s cousin’s wrongful termination case. Additionally, Edwin worries that the longer Matty stays at Jacobson Moore, the extra she places herself in peril of being caught.
So simply by the episode title and the truth that Matty’s post-Welbrexa profession worries aren’t separating her from her boss any time quickly, I’ve a sense that Matlock could be making a fairly big activate the non-public entrance. Olympia’s early season sympathy angle is beginning to repay, and I feel we’d lastly see the women turning into pals.
That’s additionally what’s most likely making husband/confederate Edwin (Sam Anderson) so nervous. New pals imply new tales to go along with outdated lies that weren’t meant to carry up underneath intense scrutiny. And in the event you thought Kathy Bates’ Matlock Christmas efficiency was award-worthy, I may solely think about what kind of firepower she and Skye P. Marshall would put into a possible scene the place Olympia learns the reality about Matty’s precise sport.
What I Need To See The Most In Matlock’s 2025 Return
Whereas these gaps in between episodes are absolute crushers, there are silver linings every time they occur. Not solely is there extra time for brand new Matlock viewers to make amends for what they could have missed, however there’s extra time for me to attempt to determine what I wish to see occur subsequent. And “Associates” appears to be beginning off the 12 months off proper for Ms. Kingston’s double life.
Clearly the potential friendship between Maddy and Olympia is one thing I’m excited to see within the works. Additionally, I really want to know what’s occurred to Billy (David Del Rio) after his crushing proposal rejection in Episode 1×07. And naturally, I wish to study extra concerning the seemingly “useless ended” Welbrexa e-mail that had Madeline Kingston discovering Julian’s affair… and the picture of a mysterious lady that doesn’t sound like a giant deal in the meanwhile.
That reveal feels like a conundrum hiding in plain sight, as Matlock isn’t the kind of collection to go away breadcrumbs for no cause. My persistence will likely be examined between now and the top of the month when the following episode premieres on CBS on Thursday, January thirtieth, at 9 p.m. ET.
Must you wish to meet up with the primary eight episodes, or if you could see this new case file after it airs, you’ll all the time be capable to rise up to hurry with a Paramount+ subscription. Till then, thanks for stopping by my chambers, and I’ll see you again in court docket for our scheduled trial date.
