Fans of the hit legal drama Matlock can look forward to the return of a familiar face in the show's upcoming second season, premiering on October 12. Showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman has confirmed that the Meerkat, or jury consultant and "human lie detector" Shae Banfield, "will definitely be back this season." However, Urman teases that "the way in which she enters the story will be very surprising."
In other TV news, the second season of the post-apocalyptic action series Twisted Metal is set to debut on Peacock on July 31. The new season will open with an unsettling flashback to 1998, which lays out the backstory of the real Raven, played with a vicious zeal by She-Hulk scene stealer Patty Guggenheim. Turns out the Raven character from the first season, portrayed by Neve Campbell, is just one of many "Raven" minions under the OG's leadership.
