As a long-time fan of Kathy Bates and the iconic Matlock series, I can’t help but feel elated at the sight of this magnificent comeback! After six years away from the small screen, Bates has returned with a bang, gracing our TVs once more as Matty Matlock. The show’s record-breaking success is simply astounding, and it’s heartwarming to see an actress as talented as Bates reap the rewards of her years of dedication to her craft.
In the upcoming 2024 TV lineup, you’ll find the highly anticipated comeback of CBS’ series “Matlock,” starring Kathy Bates, following a six-year hiatus. Originally slated to debut in the 2023-2024 season, the premiere was delayed due to the WGA writers strike and SAG-AFTRA actors strike. However, it appears that the delay has not impacted the show negatively, as “Matlock” has already been renewed for a second season prematurely, setting new records, and Bates is becoming more open about her experiences.
Previously reported by Deadline, the premiere of Matlock on NBC in September attracted its largest non-post-Super Bowl audience for a series debut in more than five years. Despite the show’s immediate success, actress Judy Davis finds herself still adjusting to it all. In an interview with Newsweek, she admitted her fear of seeing her face on billboards, despite her lengthy career in the industry. She described the current events surrounding Matlock, particularly at this stage in her career, as “simply astonishing.” And she remains profoundly grateful for the experience.
10 million individuals have taken a strong interest in it, and I am truly thankful for the chance to contribute. I’m simply overjoyed by the impressive statistics. However, contrary to popular belief, the baby boomers have not been entirely sidelined. In reality, we hold significant power that should not be underestimated.
The timeless series “Matlock” has managed to captivate viewers across different age groups, and it’s truly thrilling to witness its impressive performance after just a few episodes. This modern adaptation of the beloved “Matlock” stars Andy Griffith, and it seems plausible that some fans of the original show have been drawn back by curiosity for the revamped production. For Bates, achieving such success this far into her career is truly remarkable, and she was well aware of the steps needed to make it happen.
Right from the get-go, I was confident that my performance would stand on its own merits. I decided to give it my all and demonstrate unquestionable skill as an actor, so they couldn’t help but accept me for the role.
Kathy Bates has been a fixture in the entertainment industry since the 1970s, taking on various roles throughout her career. Like any actor, not all of her roles have been hits, but the success often hinges on the nature of the work and whether or not the role suits her talents. It seems that Bates understood her capabilities when she took on the role in Matlock, remaining dedicated despite the challenges.
Meanwhile, Matlock could be one of Bates’ most noteworthy performances, and surprisingly, the series debuted recently. It’s fortunate that it did, as she had announced her retirement plans following Matlock. As long as the show persists, she has more opportunities to act. However, it remains unclear if she intends to accept additional roles in movies or other television productions during Matlock’s run. This could possibly hinge on whether a character resonates with her deeply.
The popular show “Matlock” may continue running for quite some time, given its ongoing success. Ever since the initial episode concluded with an unforeseen twist, we’ve been hooked on Bates’ Matty Matlock’s journey. Moreover, the series has taken several unexpected turns that have kept viewers guessing, and those with a Paramount+ subscription can catch every moment. Fresh episodes air Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.
