Matlock has been renewed for Season 2 at CBS, making it the first new show of the Fall 2024 season to be guaranteed another go and the first broadcast network renewal of the season overall.
Matlock Season 2 will premiere in 2025, CBS announced on Tuesday, October 22. The renewal comes just before Matlock Season 1 Episode 3 airs this Thursday, October 24 at 9/8c.
The procedural clearly got off to a great start at the network, and its major premiere twist no doubt has kept viewers hooked. Just two episodes in, it already has a 100 percent average Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes. It has a 7.70 out of 10 rating from all critics on Rotten Tomatoes (with RT’s top critics, it scored 7 out of 10). The average audience score is 81 percent.
Viewership for the first episode also delivered a five-year high for a non-post-Super Bowl series premiere for CBS, with an average of 7.73 million viewers tuning in for Episode 1 on Sunday, September 22, according to Deadline.
