Don't Miss Matlock Season 2 Episode 4: Release Date, Exact Time, and Where to Watch
Matlock surges into Season 2 Episode 4, Piece of My Heart, arriving soon as Matty encounters a mysterious woman from Senior’s past and Olympia’s team gears up for fallout — here’s the release date, time, and where to watch.
Matlock is back with another case and a little personal history creeping in at the edges. Season 2, Episode 4 is called 'Piece of My Heart,' and it brings a mystery woman into Matty's orbit who has ties to someone the show pointedly calls Senior. Meanwhile, Olympia and her crew are gearing up for a wrongful death fight. So yes, it sounds like one of those episodes where the courtroom work and the character backstory run side by side.
When and where to watch
- Episode: Season 2, Episode 4 - 'Piece of My Heart'
- Air date: Sunday, October 30, 2025

Quick note: the day/date combo is odd here. October 30, 2025 lands on a Thursday, but CBS lists this as a Sunday airing. That mismatch is from the official schedule, so mark it down, but double-check listings as we get closer.
What this episode is about
Matty crosses paths with a mysterious woman connected to Senior - that capital S is intentional - which suggests we are poking at old relationships and long shadows. On the professional side, Olympia and her team are prepping a new wrongful death case, which usually means sharp strategy, lots of legwork, and at least one moment where someone realizes they missed a detail until it is suddenly crucial.
The show, the reboot, the cast
This Matlock is the modern take on the 80s staple, developed by Jennie Snyder Urman. Kathy Bates anchors it as Madeline 'Matty' Matlock, with Skye P. Marshall, Jason Ritter, David Del Rio, Leah Lewis, and Sam Anderson rounding out the ensemble. The tone leans clever over flashy - the kind of legal drama where the smile is disarming and the plan is already five moves ahead.
"After achieving success in her younger years, the brilliant septuagenarian Madeline Matlock rejoins the workforce at a prestigious law firm where she uses her unassuming demeanor and wily tactics to win cases and expose corruption from within. Inspired by the classic television series of the same name."
That is the setup for 'Piece of My Heart.' If CBS fiddles with the schedule, I will update, but for now: Sunday night, 6 pm PT/9 pm ET on CBS.
