In addition to Lewis and Del Rio, “Matlock” stars Kathy Bates (Madeline Matlock), Skye P. Marshall (Olympia Lawrence), Jason Ritter (Julian Markston), Aaron Harris (Alfie Kingston) and Sam Anderson (Edwin Kingston). If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

This article delves into the significant changes made to the show, the impact of these changes on character arcs, and the overall direction of Season 2. In early October, David Del Rio was removed from the set amid serious allegations of sexual assault.

Matlock stars Kathy Bates and Skye P. Marshall were also nominated for Critics’ Choice Awards for their performances in Season 2 (Bates won a Critics’ Choice Award for Matlock Season 1). The numbers are stronger than new shows that got renewed, so we’d bet that a Matlock Season 3 renewal is only a matter of time.
