CBS drama series Matlock, a reboot of the classic series of the same name and starring Kathy Bates in the titular role, has been renewed for season two, the Network announced today.
The show will return as part of the 2025-26 broadcast season.
“This reconceived Matlock was devised by Jennie Snyder Urman with a brilliant surprise plot twist, and we knew we had something very special the moment we saw the first episode brought to life by the incredibly talented Kathy Bates,” said Amy Reisenbach, president of CBS Entertainment. “The audience reception and critical acclaim for it has been overwhelming. We can’t wait to get started on a second season.”
The series 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 work force at a prestigious law firm where she uses her unassuming demeanor and wily tactics to win cases all while investigating a deeply personal secret of her own.
Skye P. Marshall, Jason Ritter, David Del Rio and Leah Lewis also star.
Matlock airs on Thursdays, (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network and is available to stream live and on demand on Paramount+.
