Jason Ritter Responds to Speculation He's Exiting 'Matlock' as Fans Theorize He's Matty's Culprit!

justjared.com:

Jason Ritter is making waves on TikTok for his fun dances to Matlock‘s theme song. He portrays one of the lawyers at Jacobson Moore, the fictional law firm central to the story of Madeline “Matty” Matlock (Kathy Bates) and her quest to get justice for her daughter’s death.

However, Jason‘s TikTok dances are causing fans of the series to talk. You’ll notice in his TikToks, he is sporting quite a prominent mustache on his face.

In the show, his character is clean shaven. This has led some to theorize that Jason is the culprit Matty is looking for (who allegedly hid important papers that could have helped the opioid crisis, which took her daughter’s life.) Many are guessing that because Jason is growing facial hair, it means that he won’t be involved in season two because he’ll be brought to justice in season one. Keep reading to find out more… Jason responded to this talk, telling TV Insider, “[My mustache is] for another show that I’m working on called Lanterns.

Mustaches can be shaved off. As soon as I’m done [with Lanterns], I’m back to Matlock.” If you didn’t see, CBS canceled 3 TV shows in the last few weeks, and Matlock‘s status has also been confirmed.
