Kathy Bates Clarifies She's Not Really Retiring: 'People Got Confused'

Kathy Bates, who currently plays Matty on CBS' reboot of 'Matlock,' clarified her comments about the future of her career

Despite sharing the same last name as the iconic Matlock from the ’80s, Matty was introduced as a former lawyer hoping to get hired at a prestigious law firm after falling on hard times. The current suspects on Matty’s list include Olympia ( Skye P. Marshall), Julian ( Jason Ritter) and Senior ( Beau Bridges) — all of whom could have had access to documents that would have taken opioids off the streets before her daughter died from an overdose. After the surprising twist, showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman reassured fans that the show won’t continue to hit them with narrative shake-ups.
