The “Matlock” reboot is back with a new episode today. In this new twist on the old premise, the new series stars Kathy Bates in the title role. Episode 2 airs tonight, October 17th, at 9pm Eastern on CBS. Titled “Rome in a Day,” Matty continues to adjust to her new job while the team deals with the case of a developmentally delayed teenager accused of murder.

If you’re looking for a way to watch the first season of Matlock online for free, FuboTV, DirecTV Stream and Paramount+ with SHOWTIME are offering free trials to all new subscribers.

Bates plays Madeline Matlock, a talented woman in her 70s who is many years removed from the successes of her younger years and now looks back on the mistakes in her life and wants to get back in the game to make some money. With her unassuming demeanor, she gets a job at Jacobson Moore, a renowned law firm. But what they don’t know is that she has an ulterior motive behind her actions.
