Ritter was intrigued by Julian’s fate “It’s left in Olympia’s hands.” No resolution.

“The two of them just gging his life to help Olympia and Julian finish that way in this safety deposit box room, and that was the only version I’ve read,” he shared. “When we read the table, people really loved the scene and it was like, ‘Oh my well, what’s going to happen next?” This is exactly what you want in a cliffhanger. ”

Julian’s reasoning was investigated all the way to Thursday’s episode, with Ritter setting viewers in a place like “there’s a tragic element. From the beginning of the season, they set it in a place like “they have to go to prison.” Now you can see the person behind it still doing terrible things, and it cannot be discounted. ”

Ritter continued: “But Jenny’s writing is always the case – it’s more complicated and layered than that. Humans are complicated. That’s what it means as a lawyer in the world. And it’s another thing to think about how Olympia will talk to the father of his child and have an impact on what will happen next.

According to Ritter, Julian You may regret it Though he doesn’t speak up completely of his guilt. “He put those documents in that safe deposit box and spent 10 years thinking he was probably going to get caught,” he explained to us. “In the end he raises a child and things start to look normal.

Premiering in September 2024, Matlock follows a wealthy retired lawyer named Madeleine Kingston (Bates), and pretends to be a poor widow named Matty Matlock to get a job at Jacobson Moore’s law firm. After all, Matty believes someone in the company is part of the opioid epidemic that led to the death of her daughter.

The first season revealed Julian’s mistake to Olympia only, but that It remains unknown if it’s Olympia or not. He tells Matty and protects Julian for his family.

“Olympia has a very strong moral center. Even if they are married or have no children, they say, ‘Sorry, but you did this.’ If Julian goes to prison, or if Julian goes outside, I don’t know what she’s going to do,” Ritter teased. “I want to see, but if she hears her connection with his father, is it enough to refocus the energy on the senior?

There is also a topic of potential reconciliation between Olympia and Julian.

“I don’t know where that leaves their romance behind. I think Olympia is a very good person and a morally outspoken person. It’s going to be really hard for her to trust him again,” he said. “After the incident and now, this huge, miserable trust is a very important part. It’s so easy to destroy, and it’s extremely painful.

After a shocking finale, there are plenty The possibility when it comes The story of Julian from season 2.

“We see more Julian and become familiar with him as well. We were able to meet his mother. It was very exciting for me. We may meet more members of his family. Julian is not a junior. “He has a completely different relationship with his father than Julian, but this is also painful.”

Ritter also said, “Olympia has talked a lot about his family, but we couldn’t see a lot of it. It’s a very fun character to have him free from one thing.”

Has the best part of the finale been revealed? I know Julian There are more scenes With Matty.

“That’s something I can’t stop thinking because I can’t get it at the end of the season. Does Matty definitely know that Julian did it? If she knew for sure that Julian did it, there’s so much anger about the loss of her daughter, so will these two find a way that isn’t behind Julian’s behind?” asked Ritter. “I’m very intrigued. Are there any moments when Matty understands why Julian can do it and forgive him?
