Matlock and Elsbeth each have special two-episode premieres that kicked off on Sunday, October 12, on CBS. They also both return to their regular air dates and times on Thursday, October 16.
The Matlock Season 2 premiere revealed the identity of Alfie’s (Aaron D. Harris) father, as promised by showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman after Season 1 came to a close in April. It also set up a tense rivalry between Matty (Kathy Bates) and Olympia (Skye P. Marshall), who are now on opposite sides of the Wellbrexa scandal, as Olympia is trying to protect her ex-husband and father of her children, Julian (Jason Ritter). She wants to pin the hidden study on Julian’s father, Senior (Beau Bridges), who ordered his son to hide the evidence of the addictive quality of opioids. Matty stole the Wellbrexa study from Olympia’s at-home safe and contacted a New York Times reporter to share her evidence of corruption at Jacobson Moore. (Read our Matlock premiere recap here.)
