Critically acclaimed powerhouse actress, Kathy Bates, is returning to screens in Matlock, a reimagining of the original 80s television legal drama.

An unassuming ex-lawyer, Madeline Matlock (Kathy Bathes) dives back into the working world following the tragic death of her daughter.

However, it’s the plot twist in the final moments of the premiere episode that will have everyone talking, as Madeline’s personal reason for having such a thirst for justice is revealed.
