Kathy Bates as Madeline Matlock, poking her head into a courtroom, in the Matlock Reboot
The Big Picture Nearly 30 years since Andy Griffith's down-home detective Ben Matlock conducted his last case, the date is set for a reimagined Matlock to follow in his footsteps. CBS has unveiled the premiere dates for its entire slate of fall shows, confirming that multi-talented Oscar winner Kathy Bates will become a fixture in its lineup as the star of the upcoming mystery series on Thursdays, beginning on October 17 from 9 p.m. to 10 p.m.
Matlock is one of a few new shows coming to CBS in the fall, yet, unlike the Young Sheldon spinoff Georgie & Mandy's First Wedding or the NCIS Gibbs-centric prequel NCIS: Origins, it's not directly attached to one of the network's flagship programs. Instead, it puts a new spin on one of television's most prolific and cantankerous attorneys to ever grace the screen, as Bates plays a septuagenarian lawyer looking to prove she can still manage cases at a prestigious law firm.
Bates is a huge addition to the CBS family, bringing a resume that includes a legendary, Academy Award-winning turn in the Stephen King adaptation Misery and a bevy of other acclaimed roles from Titanic to Primary Colors, About Schmidt, American Horror Story, and Richard Jewell. She's kept busy of late too, with this year seeing her appear in The Great Lillian Hall for Max, the heartwarming comedy Summer Camp, and A Family Affair for Netflix.
Who Else Stars in 'Matlock'? The supporting cast also features some serious star power, with Emmy nominee Jason Ritter set as Bates's co-star alongside Skye P. Marshall, David Del Rio, and Leah Lewis. Adding to the promise of Matlock is a strong creative team at the helm steering it towards success.
Matlock will make its CBS debut with a special sneak peek on September 22 at 8 p.m. before moving to Thursday nights at 9 p.m. on October 17. Visit our guide here for everything we know so far about the upcoming reimagining as it comes out.
