Matlock is arriving later this month on CBS, and the network has released a new preview teasing Kathy Bates in a reboot of Andy Griffith’s 1986-95 series.

Starring Bates, Skye P. Marshall, Jason Ritter, David Del Rio, and Leah Lewis, the series will feature “Matty” as she returns to the workforce at a prestigious law firm. The show was developed by Jennie Snyder Urman.

CBS revealed the following about the plot of the reboot series:

MATLOCK stars Kathy Bates as the brilliant septuagenarian Madeline “Matty” Matlock, who, after achieving success in her younger years, decides to rejoin the workforce at a prestigious law firm where she uses her unassuming demeanor and wily tactics to win cases and expose corruption from within. Matty is assigned to Olympia (Skye P. Marshall), a senior attorney and key rainmaker with a thirst for justice, while Olympia’s ex-husband, Julian (Jason Ritter), the son of the head of the firm, is intrigued by Matty and her clever skills. Matty works alongside the firm’s younger associates – the charismatic Billy (David Del Rio) and the uber ambitious Sarah (Leah Lewis) – as she endeavors to establish herself in her new high-stakes world. MATLOCK is a reimagining of the classic television series of the same name.

A sneak peek of the series will air on September 22nd. A preview for Matlock is below.
