Don’t Miss Matlock Season 2 Episode 3: Release Date, Time, and How to Watch

Heads up for the courtroom crowd: Matlock is rolling out Season 2, Episode 3 this weekend, and yes, the case-of-the-week involves dueling hot chicken joints. Also on the menu: office politics and a security mess that drops the executive committee right on our main characters' doorstep. So, a little spicy, a little corporate damage control. I am listening.

Episode 3: What you are walking into

The episode is titled 'Tomorrow Is Still Tomorrow.' After a security breach at the firm, Matty and Olympia find out the executive committee has flown in to assess the situation. While the higher-ups sniff around, the team takes on a dispute between two rival hot chicken restaurants. Legal fireworks plus fried chicken beef is not a combo I expected, but here we are.
