Fans of the hit legal drama, "Matlock," starring Kathy Bates, will have to wait until April 3 for the next new episode. The interruption in the schedule is due to the 2025 March Madness tournament, which has taken over CBS's primetime lineup tonight. The NCAA's annual basketball tournament airs on various networks, including CBS, which means regular programming, including "Matlock," is on hold. The next new episode, titled “The Johnson Case,” will air on April 3, with Olympia taking on a complicated murder case to impress the partnership board.
For those eager to catch up on the show, past episodes of "Matlock" are available for free on PlutoTV and can be streamed on Paramount+, Amazon, and CBS.com. Subscribers with a valid cable login can watch live on CBS, CBS.com, or the CBS app. Paramount+ offers the option to stream the show live with a subscription that includes Showtime, priced at $12.99/month or $119.99/year, with a 25% student discount and a seven-day free trial. Paramount+ can also be added to Prime Video or Hulu accounts for an additional $12.99/month, with a seven-day free trial available on Amazon.
As fans eagerly await the return of new episodes, it's a great opportunity to catch up on the latest developments in the series.
