Hey there, folks! If you're a fan of the legal drama 'Matlock,' you might've noticed it's been missing from its regular TV spot lately. Don't worry, though—there's a reason for the absence, and the show is set to return soon. Let's break it down for you.
Will 'Matlock' Be Making a Comeback?
Absolutely, 'Matlock' is indeed coming back to CBS, but fans will need to hang tight just a little longer. Here's the deal: the NCAA men’s Division I basketball tournament is currently in full swing, which has temporarily bumped 'Matlock' from its usual timeslot. As a result, the show has taken a two-week break from airing new episodes. But don’t fret—this hiatus is only temporary, and your favorite legal drama will be back before you know it.
When Exactly Can We Expect 'Matlock' to Return?
Mark your calendars, everyone! 'Matlock' is set to return with a brand-new episode on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at its regular time of 9 p.m. ET on CBS. The episode will be titled “The Johnson Case.”

And the good news doesn’t stop there! Another fresh episode will air just a week later, on Thursday, April 10, 2025, titled “I Was That, Too.”
The episode’s synopsis reads: “A pregnant woman seeks Olympia’s assistance in obtaining a divorce from her husband, whose family happens to be a client of the firm.”
What About Other Shows Affected by the Tournament?
It wasn't just 'Matlock' that felt the impact of the basketball tournament. 'Elsbeth' also had to take a step back during the first round, which took place from March 20 through March 21. But fear not, 'Elsbeth' will also be returning to the CBS lineup with a new episode on April 3, 2025, titled “Hot Tub Crime Machine.”

Creator Jennie Snyder Urman Talks About What's Coming Up
Creator Jennie Snyder Urman gave some insights into what viewers can expect for Matty in the April 17 finale.
“The central tension of the series is that she started with one mission, but then, unexpectedly, she started liking these people, making it much more challenging,” Urman told TV Insider ahead of the episode. “She thought it would be easier to pull off, but now she’s formed relationships. It’s become way more difficult.”
And if that’s not enough to keep you on the edge of your seat, there will be some major twists thrown in for good measure. “You’ll get the answer to that central question, and then, we’ll push forward into the next season,” she revealed.
And here’s some exciting news: 'Matlock' has already been renewed for season 2! So, keep those eyes peeled and enjoy the ride.
