CBS has given a green light to more Matlock.
The Network announced today that the series, a reimagining of the classic TV series of the same name, and starring Kathy Bates in the title role, has been renewed for the 2025-26 broadcast season.
Matlock sees Bates take on the role of 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.
“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.”
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+.
The series is produced by CBS Studios for the CBS Television Network and distributed by Paramount Global Content Distribution.
