Award-winning actress Kathy Bates is set to captivate audiences in CBS’s highly anticipated series, “Matlock.” Fans are eagerly awaiting her return to television, and a recent teaser video has generated excitement.

In the video, Bates, dressed elegantly in a navy blue suit, joins her co-stars for a lighthearted introduction to the show. The cast’s playful interactions tease the upcoming twists and turns in the series.

Bates’ involvement in “Matlock” has generated significant buzz, and her recent weight loss has also drawn attention. Some viewers expressed concern about the significant weight change, while others speculated about the potential reasons behind it.

Bates’ character, Madeline “Matty” Matlock, is a seemingly overlooked woman who skillfully transforms her perceived disadvantage—her age—into an asset. Using her extensive life experience and wisdom, she forges meaningful connections with people, valuing genuine interactions over modern technology.

Bates hopes that “Matlock” will run for several seasons, allowing her to continue exploring the complexities of her character. She has expressed her desire to see the series through to its conclusion, as long as her health permits.

Known for her powerful and memorable performances, Bates brings depth and intrigue to her latest role. Her Oscar-winning role in “Misery” and her Emmy-nominated work in “American Horror Story” demonstrate her exceptional talent and versatility.
