Kathy Bates might not have ended up making history as the oldest Emmy winner in the Lead Actress in a Drama Series category this past weekend — instead, Britt Lower ended up taking home that trophy for her work in Apple TV's "Severance" — but she's still acting royalty with or without the gold hardware.
And Bates will surely have a second shot at awards season with "Matlock" season 2, which is set to return to CBS with a two-night premiere on Sunday, October 12 at 8:30 p.m. ET and Thursday, October 16 at 9 p.m. ET. Thursdays at 9 p.m. will be the show's usual timeslot moving forward, with the legal drama available to stream on Paramount Plus Premium live and on demand the next day for Essential subscribers.
