During her visit with Stephen Colbert, Kathy Bates shared a preview for Showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman's Matlock S01E02: "Rome, in a Day."

After only one episode, CBS and Showrunner Jennie Snyder Urman's Kathy Bates (Madeline "Matty" Matlock)-starring Matlock is already on its way to becoming one of our favorite shows this year. Co-starring Skye P. Marshall, Jason Ritter, David Del Rio, and Leah Lewis, the series has set itself up for some seriously interesting storyline possibilities – and now, we're getting a special look at this week's episode, S01E02: "Rome, in a Day" (directed by Kat Coiro and written by Urman). Bates had a chance to check in with Stephen Colbert on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday night, where they covered a number of topics, with Bates also bringing a clip teasing Matty's first official day at the firm – and how she isn't wasting a second looking for the answers she needs.

Here's a look at Bates and Colbert discussing the CBS series in the opening minutes of the clip below before we get a sneak preview of what's to come with S01E02: "Rome, in a Day":
