Brace yourself for a wild ride in the Matlock Season 2 finale, a two-hour episode that star Skye P. Marshall says needs every minute.
Premiering on Thursday, April 23, on CBS, the Wellbrexa storyline will officially come to an explosive conclusion in these two episodes. Marshall warns that’s it’s a full-blown “war” at Jacobson Moore. On top of that, Marshall says that Kathy Bates gives an “award-worthy” performance in the finale, which will feature guest star Gina Rodriguez, who reunites with her Jane the Virgin boss, Jennie Snyder Urman, the creator of Matlock. Justina Machado, who was also on Jane the Virgin, returns as Eva, Senior’s fourth ex-wife, and Patricia Belcher returns as Mrs. Belvin.
