CBS has released the first trailer for the upcoming reboot of Matlock starring Kathy Bates.
We’ve got our first official look at the upcoming reboot of Matlock that will star Kathy Bates in the title role. The reboot is inspired by the original series of the same name that ran from 1986-1995 and starred Andy Griffith.
Judging from the trailer below, this reboot is most definitely running along the same lines of the original series:
The new Matlock series is summarized as follows:
MATLOCK stars Emmy and Academy Award winner Kathy Bates as Madeline “Matty” Matlock, a brilliant septuagenarian who achieved success in her younger years and decides to rejoin the workforce at a prestigious law firm where she uses her unassuming demeanor and wily tactics to win cases. Matty is assigned to Olympia (Skye P. Marshall), a senior attorney and key rainmaker with a thirst for justice. Olympia’s ex-husband, Julian (Jason Ritter), the son of the head of the firm, is intrigued by Matty and her clever skills. As Matty endeavors to establish herself in her new high-stakes world, she works alongside the firm’s younger associates – the charismatic Billy (David Del Rio) and the uber ambitious Sarah (Leah Lewis).
Matlock will be airing on CBS “soon” though no specific release date has been given at this time. What do you think of the new series?
