The CBS series Matlock, starring Kathy Bates, has been renewed for a third season.
Matlock features Bates as Madeline Matlock, a woman in her 70s who joins a law firm to expose those responsible for her daughter's death from opioids. The show is a reimagining of the 1986 series starring Andy Griffith. New episodes are not expected until 2027.

The piece weighs their shared drive for justice against stark lifestyle and tactic differences. It ultimately predicts they could form a strong courtroom partnership.
