Viewers are curious to know whether Matlock Season 1, which premiered in September 2024, has been canceled or if it will continue. The series features a total of 10 episodes but only eight have been aired on CBS so far, leading to concerns about its return. The latest episode, titled “No, No Monsters,” came out on December 12, 2024. It focuses on Madeline Kingston’s quest for a document essential for the Wellbrexa case.
Here’s a detailed article about whether Matlock is canceled or on a break along with details on its renewal.
Is Matlock 2024 canceled or on a break?
No, Matlock 2024 hasn’t been canceled, rather it’s on a break and will also be renewed for Season 2.
Matlock’s remaining episodes didn’t air last month due to the series being on a temporary hiatus due to the holiday season. However, fans need not worry as Episode 9 is slated to release on January 30 and Episode 10 is expected to come out on February 6, on their usual timings.
Additionally, those concerned about the show’s renewal can also be relieved as the network has officially greenlit another season for the popular series. The network issued a statement, in which CBS Entertainment president Amy Reisenbach confirmed the sophomore chapter. She said, “This reconceived MATLOCK was devised by Jennie Snyder Urman with a brilliant surprise plot twist, and we knew we had something very special the moment we saw the first episode brought to life by the incredibly talented Kathy Bates.”
Given that the series received impressive “audience reception and critical acclaim,” they remain enthusiastic about the upcoming season. As of now, a confirmed release date and plot details for Season 2 haven’t been disclosed.
The drama series is based on the 1986 legal drama series of the same name. It chronicles the life of retired attorney, Madeline, who after earning fame in her early years, rejoins the law business with a prestigious firm. She uses her witty techniques and modest behavior to expose the truth and bring justice.
