Jason Ritter, who portrays Julian Markston in CBS's Matlock reboot, has been discussing his character's future following the dramatic Season 1 finale. The finale revealed that Julian was responsible for covering up the Wellbrexa documents, which could have prevented Madeline's daughter's death. Julian, who was already dealing with divorce proceedings, now faces serious personal and professional consequences.
Previously, he had successfully kept his secrets hidden, but recent revelations have completely changed his situation. With both his affair and his role in the document cover-up now public, Julian can no longer hide his past actions.
Ritter explains that Julian is terrified and must confront the shame of his previous decisions while trying to maintain his role as a father and his professional reputation. In a playful suggestion, Ritter proposed a crossover with CBS's Tracker, joking that Julian might leave his law firm to work with Colter Shaw, describing them as 'two rugged guys' working together.
