Matlock: Celebrate Season 2 News with New S01E03 Sneak Peeks (VIDEO)
Celebrate Showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman's Kathy Bates-starring Matlock getting a Season 2 green light with these new S01E03 sneak peeks.
Even with the strong viewing numbers, social media buzz, and strong critical praise, the real sign of just how well Showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman's Kathy Bates (Madeline "Matty" Matlock)-starring Matlock is doing after only two episodes arrived earlier this week. That's when CBS announced that the hit series would be returning during the 2025-2026 cycle for a second season. With that in mind – and to keep the celebration going – we thought we would pass along two more previews for this week's episode, "A Guy Named Greg" (included in our updated series rundown below). This week, Matty returns to the courtroom for a wrongful termination case – and ends up being teamed with the last person she needs in her life right about now. Someone who is trained to know when someone else is lying. Uh-oh…
