Matlock Trailer Teases Series Twist; S01E02 "Rome, in a Day" Preview

Along with a new CBS trailer for Jennie Snyder Urman's Kathy Bates-starring Matlock, we also have a preview for S01E02: "Rome, in a Day."

By the time the credits rolled on the opening episode of  Jennie Snyder Urman's Matlock, it was pretty clear that CBS's Kathy Bates (Madeline "Matty" Matlock)-starring series was definitely much more than we were expecting and definitely not just another remake of a classic television series. Co-starring Skye P. Marshall, Jason Ritter, David Del Rio, and Leah Lewis, the series has set itself up for a whole lot of interesting storyline possibilities in less than ten minutes with a twist that was stealthy, heartbreaking, and timely (no spoilers, but you can check out the complete episode below). Before we pass along a preview for S01E02: "Rome, in a Day" (airing on Thursday, October 17th, at 9 pm ET/PT), we have the newest trailer from CBS waiting for you above – one that definitely leans hard into the show not being what you expect (and they were right).
