Matlock Season 1 Episode 16 will be aired on CBS on April 3, 2025, after a three-week-long break. The show has proved to be a massive success in a short period and continues to generate good viewership in every episode.

The legal drama is a fresh take on the 1980s series of the same name and follows Madeline "Matty" Matlock, an aged lawyer who comes out of retirement to go against the people responsible for her daughter’s death.

In the previous episode, Matty finally found out about the identity of the whistleblower who had exposed details of the WellBrexa case. In the next episode, she would reach one step closer to busting the person who colluded with the pharmaceutical company.


The release date and time of Matlock Season 1 Episode 16

Matlock Season 1 Episode 16 will be released on CBS on Thursday, April 3, 2025, at 9 PM ET / PT. The show is returning to the screens after a long wait of three weeks, as CBS had been broadcasting the NCAA tournament instead of fiction shows for the last few days.

The show is now back to its weekly roster and will release new episodes every Thursday until April 17, when the final two episodes will be released as part of the season finale. Meanwhile, the series has already been renewed for a second chapter.

Apart from the linear release, the upcoming episode will be available to stream on Paramount+. The streaming platform offers a Paramount+ with Showtime plan costing $12.99 per month, which enables live and on-demand streaming of episodes. On the other hand, an Essential plan subscription costs $7.99 per month and enables you to watch a new episode a day after its television premiere.


What to expect from Matlock Season 1 Episode 16?

The upcoming episode is titled The Johnson Case. Matty has gotten to know who the whistleblower is and has scheduled a meeting with her. The upcoming episode will likely showcase their meeting and reveal if the whistleblower knows who the collaborator in the WellBrexa case is, as she already has doubts about three people.

Jennie Snyder Urman, who developed the show, had an interview with Entertainment Weekly after the release of the previous episode and talked about what to expect from episode 16:

“That's the journey of the next episode and pieces keep falling into place and the plot will reveal itself. But you will find out why she said ‘One of those three people.’ And Matty will make contact with her. I'm smiling because it's fun, the way she does it.”

Meanwhile, the episode will also revolve around Olympia as she deals with a murder case. The official logline for The Johnson Case reads:

“Olympia tries to impress the partnership board by taking on a complicated murder case.”

Matlock stars Kathy Bates in the lead role, along with Skye P. Marshall as Olympia Lawrence, Sam Anderson as Edwin Kingston, Jason Ritter as Julian Markston, Leah Lewis as Sarah Yang, David Del Rio as Billy Martinez, Eme Ikwuakor as Elijah, Aaron Harris as Alfie Kingston, and Patricia Belcher as Mrs. Belvin.
