CBS’s much-loved legal drama, Matlock, has officially returned with its second season, and fans are already hooked. The premiere episode aired on Sunday, October 12, 2025, marking the beginning of a new season filled with secrets, betrayals, and courtroom twists. A reboot of the iconic 1980s Andy Griffith classic, the modern Matlock stars Kathy Bates as ‘Madeline Matty Matlock’, a former attorney-turned-investigator who joins a powerful New York law firm under mysterious circumstances.

Following its special Sunday premiere, Matlock will resume its regular weekly slot on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on CBS. After their air, they will be available to watch the next day on Paramount+. According to CBS, the show will have a steady release schedule throughout the fall season except for breaks on holidays or major sports broadcasts. The reboot season will comprise 20 episodes, and fans can expect a two-part finale, similar to the one in the previous season.
