Why is there no new Matlock tonight (when will they return for new episodes?)

Bad news, Matlock fans – CBS’ new hit series will not air tonight, Thursday, November 21st. So viewers will have to wait a little longer to see what happens next in the legal drama TV show based on the 1986 series of the same name. The show has been a huge success for the network, as the Matlock reboot set a huge premiere record on CBS and has an impressive Rotten tomatoes score (100 percent). Consequently, taking a quick break while on vacation probably won’t affect Matlockratings as the first season continues.

THE Matlock The reboot genre flips the original series, with Kathy Bates replacing Andy Griffith as the eponymous character nearly 30 years after the first show ended. Bates stars as Madeline “Matty” Matlock, but there is much more to this story than meets the eye. During the pilot episode of Matlockthe audience learns how different it is from the original series, and not just because the main character is a woman instead of a man. However, fans will have to wait a few weeks to find out what happens to Matty next because Matlock is taking a break.

Why There’s No New Matlock Tonight (November 21, 2024)

As mentioned above, CBS will not be releasing a new episode of Matlock Season 1 tonight, Thursday, November 21, 2024. The network won’t even air a repeat episode of Matlock.

A Christmas Story runs from 8pm to 10pm ET on November 21st, while repeating episodes of George and Mandy’s first marriage season 1 and Ghosts season 4 airs at 10pm and 10:30pm respectively.

Is Pepita dead? A Christmas Story follows Steph Stool, a woman who must give up her plans to spend the holidays with her boyfriend to return to her hometown after her family dog, Nugget, becomes ill. The CBS Christmas movie is set in a small coastal town in Australia and is ostensibly a comedy with heartwarming and heartfelt themes. Perhaps Is Pepita dead?
