The legal drama series Matlock has been renewed for season 3, with creator and showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman stating that the series was more than a remake of the classic legal drama starring Andy Griffith. The first season of Matlock was a hit, becoming one of the highest-rated shows on broadcast TV. The series returned in 2025 for season 2, with a two-hour finale ending on April 23. However, the showrunner, Urman, has requested more time to work on the upcoming episodes. The main storyline for season3 will be the final case for the Wellbrexa opioid case, which brought Matty Matlock to the law firm at the beginning of the series. The cast for season three has not been confirmed, but expect stars Bates and Marshall to return.
