The world of Crime Fighting Weekly feels a little more familiar when it comes to classic TV characters and locations in recent years. HBO restarted successfully mason perrywith Season 2 is on the way in the 2023 TV schedule. Peacock has a spiritual successor for Columbus with him critically acclaimed Poker face , and now Kathy Bates is ready to help CBS reboot a courtroom classic. Cue this beautiful acronym, folks, like it Matlock is making a big comeback in television and I’m already convinced of its potential.
CBS will switch Andy Griffith’s Ben Matlock gender into Madeline Matlock for a new pilot, according to TV Line, starring Kathy Bates herself. While the project currently only has a pilot order, the premise already looks set to make a return to prime time. Now in her 70s, Madeline (played by Bates in his post-american horror story returns to television) returns to the job market to expose corruption at a prestigious law firm, with a surprising combination of skills.

Whether or not composer Dick DeBenedictis’ iconic theme song will return remains to be seen. As you can hear below, this is another essential to revitalize:
Sorry, but don’t mess with perfection like that! Matlock There may only be one pilot ordered at the moment, but this music is so much a part of the show’s DNA that it has to be there from the ground up. While we’ll have to wait and see what happens as this project progresses, I’m already ready to see what (hopefully) will be available.
