Two new faces are coming to Matlock when the show returns in February. Sarah Wright Olsen plays Gwen, an efficiency expert analyzing the firm, which is on the brink of a merger. Newcomer Henry Haber plays Hunter, a younger associate from the floater pool who is a total bro. Matlock creator Jennie Snyder Urman said that Haber’s character is not a replacement for Billy Martinez following David Del Rio‘s dismissal from the series.
Gwen and Hunter will make their debuts in the second half of Matlock Season 2, which premieres on Thursday, February 26, at 9/8c on CBS. Del Rio was fired from Matlock after an investigation into an alleged sexual assault, reportedly involving Del Rio’s costar, Leah Lewis. Del Rio denies the allegations. CBS reportedly reopened its investigation in December.
