Fans of Jane the Virgin will be excited to learn that Yael Grobglas, an alumna of the show, has landed a recurring part in the CBS’s new reboot of the classic courtroom drama, Matlock.
According to Deadline, Grobglas will depict Shae Banfield, or “the Meerkat,” who boasts a keen ability to analyze body language, facial expressions, and neurolinguistics. Her character’s perceptive skills make her a formidable force in the courtroom, challenging both senior attorney Olympia Lawrence (portrayed by Skye P. Marshall) and the titular character Madeleine “Matty” Matlock, played by Kathy Bates.
The revamp of Matlock, under the guidance of show creator Jennie Snyder Urman of Jane the Virgin and Charmed reboot fame, reintroduces viewers to the savvy Madeline Matlock, now in her 70s, as she resumes her career in a renowned law firm and partners with attorney Olympia. Her subtle approach and astute strategies are crucial to their success.
The series also stars Beau Bridges as the law firm’s chief and Jason Ritter as Julian, Olympia’s former husband and son of Bridges’ character, who finds Matty’s sharp mind intriguing.
