Kathy Bates charms her way into a job in the 'Matlock' reboot trailer.
28 years ago, the late great Andy Griffith hung up his signature gray suit with the end of Matlock. Over the course of nine seasons as the brilliant, unassuming, and cantankerous old criminal defense attorney Ben Matlock, he resolved case after case with remarkable consistency making him one of the most popular crime solvers on television and a favorite of Abe Simpson.
The new Matlock features Bates as Madeline "Matty" Matlock, a decorated attorney who comes out of retirement to join a prestigious law firm despite being in her 70s. Using her wit and her own unassuming demeanor, she becomes a star all over again, solving cases and bringing corruption to light.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Bates's Matlock may be a bit different from her folksy down-home super sleuth predecessor, but the new series still takes plenty of inspiration from the Griffith-led show. The trailer even acknowledges the existence of Ben Matlock as a famous television detective, firmly setting these two in separate worlds but with an undeniable connection.
In addition to Bates, Matlock will star Jason Ritter, who also recently joined his wife Melanie Lynskey in Yellowjackets Season 2, as well as Skye P. Marshall, David Del Rio, and Leah Lewis. Kat Coiro directed the pilot from a script by Jennie Snyder Urman who also serves as an executive producer with Bates, Joanna Klein, Eric Christian Olsen, and John Will.
