How the 'Matlock' Finale Will Set Up 'Amazing Guest Stars' for Season 2
Matlock is getting ready to wrap up its first season — but the upcoming finale features even bigger twists and paves the way for some intriguing guest stars in season 2.
During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Skye P. Marshall teased her reaction to the season finale, saying, “I am not even exaggerating. When I read the finale script, I was like, ‘Here is take off. Here we go.’ And I mean take off as our characters are fully developed [by the end]. Everyone has their own angle, their own goal and their own ambition — whether it aligns with their original alliance or not.”
Marshall praised Matlock for “shooting for the stars.”
“Based on how season 1 ended, I’m pretty sure we’re going to get some amazing guest stars to just continue where this is all going to make it all make sense,” she continued. “With the success of Matlock, we got a lot of people’s attention. I’m really excited to see what other incredible talent wants to come and explore these other characters.”
'Matlock' Burning Questions Answered After Shocking Twist With Kathy Bates
She concluded: “I’m really excited that the rocket is taking off. I love that. And whatever you think is going to be revealed, the twist is going to have you turned around the same way the pilot ending did.”
Matlock, which premiered in September 2024, follows a wealthy retired lawyer named Madeline Kingston (Kathy Bates) who pretends to be a poor widower named Matty Matlock to get a job at a firm. As it turns out, Matty thinks someone at the company is complicit in the opioid epidemic that resulted in her daughter’s death.

The plan to take down Jacobson Moore doesn’t exactly go as planned since Matty finds herself growing closer to Olympia (Marshall), Billy (David Del Rio), Sarah (Leah Lewis) and more of her coworkers that don’t seem to be aware of the corruption at the firm.
After Matlock was renewed for a second season, director and executive producer Kat Coiro previewed how the show keeps building on that narrative shakeup.
“What’s so brilliant about the show and Jennie [Snyder Urman’s] writing is that it’s very incremental and character-based. The twists have a lot to do with psychology rather than relying on big external factors or plot shifts,” Coiro explained in November 2024. “You get so invested in these characters that small revelations become really exciting.”

Coiro noted that the CBS series isn’t relying on just one storytelling device.
“It’s easier to get away with that the more invested everybody becomes in the characters. Definitely the twist in the pilot was the biggest,” she noted. “Because you think you’re watching a pretty standard procedural about a fish out of water in a law firm. Then suddenly you introduce this story line that now has to carry two plots and two different sets of characters through every episode.”
At the time, Coiro praised the show’s writers’ room for finding ways to keep each episode feeling fresh, adding, “I think subtlety of the progression and the fact that it’s not moving forward at an incredibly rapid rate is part of what makes it sustainable.”
Matlock airs on CBS Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET and is currently streaming on Paramount+.

Austin Butler's Home in Los Angeles is Burglarized: Report
Austin Butler’s home in Los Angeles has been reportedly burglarized, with multiple items appearing to have been stolen.
According to TMZ, who reported on the incident on Thursday, March 14, the actor’s home was reportedly broken into while Butler, 33, was out of the country.
The outlet reported that police attended the premises after Butler’s security guard found a shattered glass door. Upon entering the home, a guard saw that Butler’s home had been ransacked.
TMZ reported that several items appeared to be missing, including a gun and money. However, a full inventory is still needed to determine what items have been stolen.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Los Angeles Home Burglarized
It is unclear at this stage whether there are any suspects in the case yet.
Us Weekly has reached out to LAPD and Butler’s representatives for comment.
Earlier this week, Butler spent time in France, attending the Saint Laurent Show in Paris Fashion Week.
He has also had a busy few months, including a recent split with Kaia Gerber, who he had been dating for three years.
Multiple outlets, including People and TMZ reported on the split in January, with the former couple believed to have called it quits at the end of 2024.

Meanwhile, there has been a spate of burglaries at celebrity homes in Los Angeles in the past few months.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Los Angeles home was reportedly broken into on Valentine’s Day this year.
According to NBC News, who spoke with a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation and published its findings on Tuesday, February 18, the Beverly Hills residence “included ransacking and breaking glass.”
The couple and their family were not home at the time, reported TMZ. (The pair share two daughters, Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14. Kidman is also mother to son, Connor, 30, and daughter, Bella, 32, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise.)

The burglary follows the arrest of five suspects in January by the Beverly Hills Police Department, who, according to NBC, were arrested “in connection with a string of burglaries in their city, as well as in other California locations, including Glendale, San Marino, Los Angeles, Burbank, Pleasanton, Bakersfield, Ventura County, Orange County and San Mateo County.”
Selling Sunset star Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet and her husband Romain also had their L.A. home broken into in January, Us Weekly can confirm,
A representative for the Los Angeles Police Department media relations team confirmed that the burglary took place on Sunday, January 19.
TMZ was first to report the news, claiming that thieves entered Fitzgerald Bonnet, 44, and husband Romain Bonnet’s residence through an unlocked door. They allegedly stole over $130,000 worth of jewelry, handbags and more luxury items. Per the outlet, Fitzgerald Bonnet and Bonnet, 31, were not home at the time of the incident.
It is unclear whether Butler’s home invasion was linked to other celebrity break-ins in L.A.

Former Fifth Harmony Members Today: Solo Careers, Reality TV and More
Like a certain 2010s boy band, Fifth Harmony was formed on a reality competition series — and like that group, they’ve stayed busy in the years after their hiatus.
Fifth Harmony‘s story began in 2012, when all five of its members — Ally Brooke, Camila Cabello, Normani, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui — auditioned for the U.S. edition of The X Factor as solo contestants. They didn’t progress on their own, but judges Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, L.A. Reid and Britney Spears brought them back to form a girl group.
After initially calling themselves Lylas and 1432, they settled on the name Fifth Harmony after a public vote. They finished in third place during the December 2012 season finale, and one month later, Cowell signed them to his record label, Syco Music.
The band’s debut album, Reflection, hit stores in January 2015, and they quickly became one of the biggest acts in pop music. Drama began the following year, however, when Cabello announced in December 2016 that she was leaving the group.
The remaining four members claimed that they were blindsided by her decision, later confirming in March 2018 that Fifth Harmony would go on an indefinite hiatus while they pursued solo projects. While fans were devastated, the women delivered on their promise, and all four of them have since released their own singles.

Normani competed on season 24 of Dancing With the Stars in 2017, finishing in third place. She has also appeared as a judge on RuPaul's Drag Race, Legendary and That's My Jam, and has modeled in several of Rihanna's Savage X Fenty fashion shows.
After years of teasing fans, Normani announced the release of her debut solo album, Dopamine, with a June 2024 release date.
In March 2025, Normani got engaged to football player DK Metcalf after three years of dating.

Cabello began dating Mendes in 2019 after years of friendship. The duo confirmed their split in November 2021. After briefly rekindling their relationship in early 2023, Cabello and Mendes called it quits that June.

Southern Charm’s JT Denies Being Racist Toward Venita: The Cast Are 'Snakes'
Jarrett “JT” Thomas hit his breaking point during the recent episode of Southern Charm after seemingly being accused of racism toward longtime friend Venita Aspen.
During the Thursday, March 13, episode of the Bravo series, Venita, 31, revealed she was in “shellshock” after hearing something JT, 39, allegedly said about her to his barber.
Venita heard the accusations from newbie Ryan Albert, who claimed the barber said, “JT told him that there is some Black girl that’s been coming on to him and his girlfriend is going to be so pissed off.”
While retelling the rumored interaction between JT and his barber to pal Leva Bonaparte, Venita confessed she wasn’t sure what to believe. Leva, 45, was taken aback as well, telling Venita, “[That] doesn’t seem like JT.”
Southern Charm’s Venita Says JT 'Popped Up' With a GF Amid Their Romance
Leva decided to go straight to JT to clear the air. During their chat, JT admitted that he had been a little “flirtatious” with Venita amid his new romance with girlfriend Ally but was completely surprised by what came next. (Venita and JT were very lovey-dovey all season before Venita learned of JT’s new flame.)
“Ryan, I guess, uses the same barber as you. … He said that that barber told him that you verbatim said, ‘There’s some Black girl trying to get me to break up with my girlfriend,’” Leva recalled to JT, noting, “Venita is distraught.”
JT was visibly stunned by the accusation, replying, “That sounds racist. I’m not a racist.”

Leva explained that Venita felt “used” by JT after hearing the rumor, which hurt him deeply. “I’m so sorry that she thinks this, but no. This is yet another time that words are being put in my mouth,” JT responded. “I have nothing but respect for Venita.”
JT alleged, “This is absolutely bulls—. That is not how I roll.” He was frustrated as he said, “I have had enough of my name getting shattered and destroyed. I am tired of this friend group.”
JT then decided to call the barber in front of Leva to get to the bottom of the story. The barber confirmed that JT did not say “some Black girl … is trying to ruin my relationship.”
Southern Charm's Venita Slams Show for Presenting Her as 'Home Wrecker'
The barber recalled, “You had said that there is an interest with a cute Black girl on the show, Venita. That was really the gist of it. There wasn’t really much context [other than] that.”
The stylist was apologetic for being involved in any way, telling JT, “You know, I may have said it because I was not articulate, you know? If it was off, something that I relayed, like, I’m so sorry.”
“That’s a big allegation. That’s a really big accusation by Ryan,” JT told Leva before getting up to leave. “What did I do to this guy? That’s a motherf—!”
Ten minutes later, JT called Venita outraged that anyone would think he would purposely hurt her and speak in such a manner about any woman. “I’m still, like, shaking. … I’m really upset right now. I know you are too. I’m f—ing pissed right now. This is horrible,” JT said on the phone. “I’m upset with him, and I’m upset that he hurt you. I’m upset that he hurt you by insinuating that.”
JT explained that Leva was “hurt” by the accusations as well because her husband, Lamar Bonaparte, is Black. “Now I’m hurt but had no idea you guys were hurting,” JT told Venita. “I’m going, ‘What the f— is going on right now?’”
He then told her that he called the barber and “cleared it” up. JT revealed that he had to call Venita right after to say, “I f—ing love you.” As he spoke, his emotions continued to bubble up and he went off on the rest of the cast.
‘Southern Charm’ Cast Reacts to JT Leaving Show: ‘He Was No Longer Wanted’
“I’m done. So done with these people they’re f—ing snakes. It’s Craig [Conover], it’s Austen [Kroll], it’s Ryan, it’s Salley [Carson],” JT claimed.
Earlier this season, Craig, 36, accused JT of calling Patricia Altschul a “bitch.” Austen, for his part, had been feuding with JT since season 9 when they got into a physical altercation over castmate Taylor Ann Green. Salley, meanwhile, got into a fight with JT after he alleged she had an affair with ex-boyfriend Gaston Rojas.
JT continued to go off on the group, especially Ryan, saying, “This is sick, man. This motherf— just called me [racist] and his husband is also Black. This has all the looks of a f—ing target job by a psychopath.”
He argued that Ryan, who is married to Eddie Irions, “Made me out to be a racist.” JT concluded by calling Ryan a “motherf—” while still on the phone with Venita.
The Southern Charm season 10 finale airs on Bravo Thursday, March 20, at 8 p.m. ET.

How Will The Pitt's Mass Shooting Twist Affect the Rest of the Season?
Just when things couldn’t get more hectic on The Pitt, the show introduced a mass shooting that will affect the rest of the season.
The Pitt built up to the reveal after Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) gave his son, Jake (Taj Nico Speights), tickets to a music festival. Meanwhile earlier in the season, one of Dr. Robby’s patients made herself sick so her son could take her to the hospital because she wanted to alert professionals that he was worried he could harm someone else.
During the Thursday, March 13, episode of Max’s hit medical series, the doctors and nurses working in the emergency department at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital got an alert about a shooter at the festival, which resulted in multiple casualties headed their way.
Taylor Dearden exclusively told Us Weekly how the twist affects her character, Dr. Mel King, adding, “Something happens and as the day goes on, I think Mel gets more and more confident — or at least just there is more ease and less anxiety.”
What Noah Wyle Said About How 'The Pitt' Medical Drama Differs From 'ER'
Despite not feeling confident on her first day at the hospital, the second-year resident will rise to the occasion amid the crisis.
“ADHD is overrepresented in emergency services. Most ER doctors, nurses and everyone there has ADHD. It is this thing that we have as a superpower and when there’s an emergency, we can shut off all anxiety and just deal with whatever’s in front of us,” Dearden, 32, who has been diagnosed with ADHD, explained. “I’m the one that runs towards the accident, which is a terrible idea. I’ll show up and go, ‘I don’t know what to do, but I’m here.'”

She continued: “But Mel gets to have that superpower click in at a point, which I’m really excited for everyone to see. Just kind of like the moment where you go, ‘Oh, this is what she needs under her ass. Like a fire. I’m not saying Mel’s a hero but …'”
Dearden also surprised Us when asked how Mel would react to her new coworker friend Dr. Frank Langdon’s (Patrick Ball) addiction. (Robby told Frank to go home in a prior episode after he found out that the senior resident was stealing medication.)
“Mel doesn’t know at all — the whole time,” Dearden revealed. “Poor Mel. I’m just like, ‘Where’d he go? Where’d my friend go?'”
Ball previously broke down what Frank’s addiction means for him going forward.
ER's Noah Wyle Returns to Medical Dramas With ‘The Pitt’: Everything to Know
“He refers to having hurt his back while helping his parents move and that is frequently the case. He goes to a doctor who gives him pain meds and then those are habit-forming pain meds. This happens all the time. This happens with people that I know that are very, very high functioning,” Ball explained. “You see this opioid problem that is just riddling itself all across this country. It’s really sad because it’s not people that ever set out to become addicts. It’s people that trust and that get caught in a trap. That’s part of what happened with Langdon.”

Ball praised The Pitt for being an iconic first TV role, saying, “We are all in all the time. All the crew is on set with us and it creates just this mass. You’re just part of the world. Once you’re in it, you’re just in it and everybody’s in it with you. There’s no time to get in your head. We will rehearse, then we’ll shoot, then we’ll go straight into rehearsal, then we’ll shoot again and there’s no break.”
Meanwhile, Dearden was thankful to Wyle, who used his knowledge playing a doctor on ER to help guide his costars. “It was definitely us kind of in awe going, ‘Why can’t we make it look that easy?'” She quipped. “But I think that’s just a learning thing because by the end, we were hopefully much better.”
New episodes of The Pitt premiere on Max every Thursday.
