After a suspense-filled season finale, Matlock fans are still catching their breath—and so is series star Skye P. Marshall. The courtroom drama reboot, anchored by Kathy Bates in the title role and supported by a dynamic ensemble cast, left viewers on edge with a tense cliffhanger that promises major twists ahead. At the heart of that intensity was Skye P. Marshall’s character, Olympia, who found herself at a personal and professional crossroads in the final moments of the episode.
Speaking recently about what’s next, Marshall expressed both excitement and gratitude for the fan reaction to the show’s dramatic ending. “It’s wild. People are stopping me and asking what’s going to happen next, and I wish I could tell them everything—but all I can say is, buckle up,” she said.
Olympia, introduced as a sharp and driven legal mind, has evolved significantly over the course of the season. In the finale, her loyalties were tested in ways that could change the trajectory of her relationships and career. The final scene left audiences wondering whether she’d make a pivotal decision that could shake up the entire legal team dynamic—and possibly her future with Matlock herself.
Marshall teased that the next chapter will dive deeper into Olympia’s motivations and personal history. “We’re going to see more of what drives her, what scares her, and what she’s willing to risk for the truth,” she said. “There’s a lot more to her than we’ve seen so far.”
Though CBS has yet to confirm a renewal, early signs point to another season. For Marshall, the show’s combination of classic courtroom drama with modern themes has been a dream come true. “I’ve always loved characters with layers—and Olympia has plenty. I can’t wait to show people what’s coming.”
