Meanwhile, Bates returned to acting with the 2024 CBS series, wherein she plays the role of Matty, a genius septuagenarian who joined the law firm to use her wit and intelligence to win the cases. Amidst fighting the lawsuits, the character herself carries a dark secret.
As for the plot of the series, the official logline reads, "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."
It further states, "Matty is assigned to Olympia, a senior attorney and key rainmaker with a thirst for justice, while Olympia's ex-husband, Julian, the son of the head of the firm, is intrigued by Matty and her clever skills."
On the other hand, Sawai, who bagged the prize for Best Actress in the TV category, gave a shoutout to the former, claiming that she would vote for Bates any day. While up on the stage, the actress mentioned, "Thank you to the voters for voting for me, even though I would vote for Kathy Bates any day."
