# Matlock (1986 TV series) season 9

The ninth and final season of Matlock originally aired in the United States on ABC with a two hour season premiere from October 13, 1994 and a two hour series finale on May 4, 1995.

## Cast
### Main

* Andy Griffith as Ben Matlock
* Daniel Roebuck as Cliff Lewis
* Carol Huston as Jerri Stone

### Recurring

* David Froman as Lt. Bob Brooks
* Julie Sommars as ADA Julie March

#### Cast notes

* Carol Huston joined the cast this season
* Daniel Roebuck and Carol Huston both missed one episode.
* It was unclear if the show would be renewed for a tenth season, so the show-runners produced an unofficial final episode, "The Assault", and it aired slightly earlier than the remaining episodes of the season in production order. After it became certain that Season 9 would indeed be the final season of Matlock, "The Assault" would be moved to air after the last aired episode in season 9 in syndication and serve as the effective conclusion to the series.
