7 ‘Matlock’ Burning Questions We Need Answered in Season 2

Matlock has a lot of explaining to do when it returns this fall. The first season ended on major cliffhangers for its lead and supporting characters, clearing a path to brand new terrain in the sophomore season and leaving us with lots of questions.

Matlock stars Kathy Bates as Madeline “Matty” Matlock, a brilliant septuagenarian who rejoins the workforce disguised as a harmless old widow in need of a job to support her teen grandson. In reality, her name is Matty Kingston, her husband is very much alive, and along with their grandson, they’re investigating the concealment of documents in a lawsuit that were buried in order to hide the truth about the addictive nature of opioids.
