‘Matlock’: Every ‘Jane the Virgin’ Cast Cameo So Far

Bridget Regan joined a Jane the Virgin reunion in the Matlock Season 2 two-part finale, which aired on Thursday, April 23, on CBS. She joined Gina Rodriguez, guest starring in a new role, and returning guest star Justina Machado.

Matlock was created by Jane the Virgin creator Jennie Snyder Urman who, between casting stars of her previous shows and casting her cast’s spouses, loves to make her productions a family event.

Matlock Season 2 came to a close on April 23 with a two-hour finale airing back-to-back. The episodes are titled “Who Are You?” and “Matty Matlock.”

Here’s the finale logline: “The team confronts an unexpected final hurdle they need to overcome to bring Senior to justice for his role in the Wellbrexa cover up. Meanwhile, they defend an airport ramp operator accused of safety negligence in the death of a passenger.”

Regan, currently a recurring cast member of The Rookie, guest starred as D.A. Samantha Barrett. She faced Matty (Kathy Bates) in court and proved to be a worthy opponent.

As previously reported, Rodriguez made her Matlock debut in the finale. She plays a character called Lida Gutierrez, the FBI to whom Matty fed the Wellbrexa tip. Lida helped get all of the Jacobson Moore lawyers who were complicit in the Wellbrexa cover-up arrested, including Machado’s character, Eva, Senior (Beau Bridges), Eva’s ex-husband, and Julian (Jason Ritter), who gave up his immunity to bring his father to justice.

Urman has been bringing her Jane the Virgin cast onto Matlock since Season 1. She told TV Insider that there’s a strong likelihood that the Jane alums will return to Matlock.

Here’s every Jane the Virgin cameo so far, in order of appearance.
