Is Matlock new tonight on CBS, February 19, 2026?
Is Matlock new tonight on CBS? We more than recognize at this point that there is a desire to get Kathy Bates and the cast back. It has been, after all, a really long break!
Well, for now, here is where we will go ahead and share the good and bad news. The good news is that new episodes are coming back very soon — unfortunately, the bad news is that it is not tonight. The return of Matlock is on February 26, and hopefully we’ll get a nice run of episodes then before we have (potentially) another break due in part to the NCAA Tournament.
