Jason Ritter Proposes Matlock-Tracker Crossover in Urgent Interview
BREAKING: Jason Ritter, star of CBS’s hit legal drama Matlock, has just proposed an exciting crossover event with the action-drama Tracker. In a recent interview with US Weekly, Ritter’s idea has sparked immediate interest among fans and network executives alike.
The proposal comes as Matlock prepares for its highly anticipated second season, set to premiere on October 12, 2025. Ritter’s character, Julian Markston, recently faced significant ethical dilemmas, particularly regarding sensitive WellBrexa documents that could have changed the fate of a key character, played by Kathy Bates. “If Tracker ever wants a partner [for Colter], maybe Julian leaves the firm and he starts a new life. Just two rugged guys,” Ritter shared, highlighting his vision for an intriguing storyline where Julian teams up with Justin Hartley‘s character from Tracker.
Ritter’s proposal arrives on the heels of Tracker‘s own success, as it gears up for its third season premiere on October 19, 2025. The show debuted on February 11, 2024, and has already been renewed for another season, further fueling excitement for potential crossover opportunities.
In the Matlock season finale, Julian’s decision to conceal critical documents led to personal turmoil, especially as his estranged wife, played by Skye P. Marshall, discovers his secret. As Ritter prepares for his upcoming hosting duties at the California Dreamin’ benefit on August 23, he teased fans about Julian’s evolving storyline, stating, “Julian is going to have to grapple — one way or another — with this.”
The urgency surrounding Ritter’s proposal reflects both the success of the current CBS lineup and the rising demand for interconnected storytelling in television. Fans are eager to see how Julian’s journey might intertwine with Colter Shaw’s, presenting a compelling narrative that could elevate both series.
As the buzz grows around this potential crossover, viewers are encouraged to stay tuned for updates. With a creative proposal on the table and two series set to premiere soon, the excitement is palpable. Expect more news on this developing story as CBS continues to shape its programming and engage audiences.
