Matlock ended on some major cliffhangers following that surprising reveal - and season 2 is only raising the stakes further. After winning Breakthrough Talent at the 7th Annual African-American Film Critics Association TV Honors on August 23, Skye P. Marshall spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about the show's evolution in season 2, saying, "We are picking up right where we left off in season 1. Stakes are high, trust is broken." Marshall added that her character Olympia and Matty's (Kathy Bates) relationship will continue to shift.
