Yael Grobglas Joins CBS’ ‘Matlock’, Setting Up ‘Jane The Virgin’ Reunion


A Jane the Virgin reunion between series alum Yael Grobglas and creator Jennie Snyder Urman has been set at CBS' Matlock.

In Matlock, written by Urman and inspired by the classic TV series starring Andy Griffith, after achieving success in her younger years, the brilliant septuagenarian Madeline Matlock (Bates) rejoins the work force at a prestigious law firm where she uses her unassuming demeanor and wily tactics to win cases. Olympia’s ex-husband, Julian (Jason Ritter), the son of the head of the firm (Beau Bridges), is intrigued by Matty and her clever skills. Known as a human lie detector, she’s able to suss out character and sniff out the truth using her mastery of body language, facial expressions, and neurolinguistics, making her a worthy adversary to brilliant attorney Olympia Lawrence (Marshall) and an imminent threat to Madeleine Matlock (Bates).
