However, a few weeks later and her agents sent her the script for Matlock and it moved her so much that she decided to pause those plans. “Everything I’ve prayed for, worked for, clawed my way up for, I am suddenly able to be asked to use all of it,” Kathy said of the upcoming series. “And it’s exhausting.” Matlock is set to premiere in a couple weeks, on Sunday, September 22nd at 8pm ET on CBS.
