Kathy Bates is making a big return to TV with CBS’s new series, “Matlock.” At 76, she’s captivating audiences not just with her performance but also with her dramatic weight loss, which has become a major talking point. The show, set to premiere on September 22, features Bates as Madeline “Matty” Matlock, a sharp attorney with hidden motives in a prestigious Chicago law firm.
In a teaser video, Bates, dressed in a navy suit, teased fans with the promise, “More twists coming your way.” The series, a reboot of the classic legal drama, is generating excitement for its fresh take and Bates’s intriguing role.
