Every year, the voting phase for the Emmy Awards creates a lot of buzz about which TV show, actor, or actress will take home the trophy. For the uninitiated, Emmy nomination voting officially closed on June 23, 2025, and we’ll soon learn about the TV shows, actors, and actresses who have been nominated for the 2025 Emmy Awards ceremony. However, in 2025, there was one particular show that made a special place in the audience’s heart, and it’s high time the Emmys pay attention. Yes, you guessed it right. We’re talking about CBS’ Matlock TV series.
Kathy Bates’ stellar performance in Matlock
Kathy Bates plays the role of ‘Madeline Matlock’, originally portrayed by Andy Griffith in the 1986 TV series.

What is worth mentioning is Kathy Bates’ stellar performance in Matlock, from sharp, straight cut delivery to no-nonsense character portrayal. Kathy’s beautiful blend of charm and grit takes the revised TV series to a different level.
