Matlock Season 2 Predictions: 5 Hottest Questions That Demand Answers

One of the most popular legal dramas in recent memory, Matlock is not just a show about high-powered lawyers. The backdrop of the series is the tough personal drama of the titular character, which serves as fuel for her to continue her mission to bring justice to her life.

Matty Matlock's secret was finally revealed right before the season's two-hour finale, but it was only Olympia who discovered the truth about Matty’s motives for joining Jacobson Moore. And now that Olympia is faced with the dilemma of whose side to be on, Matty's plan to take down the firm is in a gray area.

Season 2 has a lot of questions to answer, and here are 5 of the most complicated.

1. Will Matty’s Secret Identity Be Exposed?

Matty has been operating under a hidden identity for a long time, and her true motives are still hidden from her colleagues, except for Olympia. However, the last two episodes have made sure that we understand how important the new relationships at the firm are to her, at least with Sarah and Billy.

But as her relationships deepen, the risk of exposure increases. Will her secret be revealed, and if so, what will be the consequences? Will they still be her friends after finding out the truth?

2. Is Julian the Villain or the Victim?

Another burning question is that of Julian's motives. The show blatantly shows him as this weak guy who acted under pressure when he hid the Wellbrexa documents. But some fans have a completely different vibe. Season 2 will have to answer that as well.

“Julian knew why Olympia was at the bank and manipulated her using Maddie’s tactics: catch them off guard (walks up behind her in a vulnerable situation) and hit them where it hurts (their kids). He’s not sorry and is actually the most manipulative character of them all,” Redditor GirraffeAttack said.

3. What’s Next for Julian and Olympia?

The last scene with Julian and Olympia was tough, clearly showing that she doesn't know what to do and how to act now that she knows her ex-husband is responsible for a crime that left so many people out there to die.

We clearly saw her wanting to believe in Julian's innocence and fighting with her inner lawyer, true to rules and legal action. So what does the future hold for her? Well, I guess that depends on whether or not Julian is our villain. And if not, fans have an idea of how everything might resolve itself.

“He did some fantastic acting in his confession scene! I am becoming a fan. I think Olympia and Julian take down Senior and the firm is restored to them. At least in my happy ending. Not anytime soon,” Redditor agoodspace said.

4. What Role Will Alfie’s Dad Play in Season 2?

While the Wellbrexa drama was going on all the time, Alfie's father was only mentioned a few times in the show. But in the last scene of the Matlock season 1 finale, a man claimed to be his father and wanted to be a part of his life. And apparently Alfie himself made sure that his father came back into his life.

Fans say that one of the reasons to bring him into the story may be to show the viewers the alternate ending to the addiction. But there’s another one.

“I think bringing in Alfie's dad is a way to resolve Edwin's "I want Matty to retire so I don't have to do all the school stuff myself, I need help" concerns,” Redditor Hedgiwithapen said.

5. How Will Billy’s Fatherhood Affect His Career?

Out of these all, the most unexpected revelation was still the one with Billy. Let me remind you that he was confronted with his ex-girlfriend who said “we’re pregnant” to him in his office and left Billy in shock.

Well, season 2 must delve into how this news affects his role at the firm and his relationships with colleagues, and especially Sarah.
