Kathy Bates has returned to television screens with the highly anticipated reboot of the 1986 mystery legal drama television series, Matlock. The show premiered its pilot episode on CBS on September 22, 2024, and is slated for a scheduled release on October 17, 2024.
In an article about Kathy Bates published in The New York Times on September 8, 2024, it was mentioned that Matlock had received an eighteen-episode order from CBS. Therefore, it will take a while for audiences to get to the climax of the show's first season, given that CBS typically releases episodes weekly.
Nevertheless, those willing to follow up on the latest developments of the show need not always rely on CBS' broadcasting platform. They can watch the episodes at their convenience on multiple streaming platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Paramount Plus, which offer free trials to CBS.

Streaming options for Matlock Season 1 explored
There are multiple ways to stream episodes of the latest season of Matlock. The first way is through the CBS app, which doesn't require a subscription and allows users to stream shows and movies for free.
The other option is similar to the first but doesn't require any app downloads. Interested viewers can simply look up CBS on their web browsers and stream episodes of the show for free.
Another way people can watch the show is via Paramount Plus. The streaming platform offers users the choice to sign up for a seven-day free trial to CBS.
