More about the show
Executive producer Jennie Snyder Urman suggests we'll see more layers of Matty's identity unfold.
As a widowed attorney at a top New York law firm, she balances tough cases with her professional responsibilities—all inspired by the classic Andy Griffith series but reimagined for today.
