Matlock has ended the Billy Martinez (David Del Rio) chapter. Matlock Season 2 Episode 10 revealed one last detail about Billy that solves the last piece of the puzzle of his exit. And then, it introduced the new member of Olympia’s (Skye P. Marshall) legal team, Hunter (Henry Haber), who is taking Billy’s place in the merged office. (Warning: Spoilers for Matlock Season 2 Episode 10 ahead!)
Del Rio was fired from Matlock during Season 2 production in 2025. His firing was the result of an alleged sexual assault that reportedly took place on the set of the CBS drama and involved his costar, Leah Lewis, who plays Sarah Franklin. Del Rio denies the allegations.
