The iconic legal drama “Matlock” is making a grand return tonight, and it’s bringing a fresh new twist to the beloved classic.
Premiering on CBS at 8:00 PM ET/PT, this reboot stars the legendary Kathy Bates as Madeline “Matty” Matlock, a brilliant attorney who, despite her golden years, is stepping back into the courtroom with an unparalleled sharpness and wit.
In this modern take, Matty Matlock isn’t just another lawyer at a prestigious law firm; she’s the hidden ace.
With her unassuming demeanor and shrewd strategies, she dazzles both clients and colleagues, including Olympia (played by Skye P. Marshall), a senior attorney with a fierce passion for justice.
The show also introduces Julian (Jason Ritter), Olympia’s ex-husband and son of the firm’s head, who becomes intrigued by Matty’s clever approach to law.
Joining them are Billy (David Del Rio), a charismatic young lawyer, and Sarah (Leah Lewis), an ambitious associate determined to prove herself.
Inspired by the original “Matlock” series, which starred Andy Griffith, this reboot promises a captivating mix of courtroom drama and lighthearted wit, driven by Kathy Bates’ powerful performance.
With a stellar supporting cast and a storyline focused on both complex legal battles and dynamic interpersonal relationships, “Matlock” is sure to appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers alike.
