Kathy Bates says her forthcoming television role will also be her last.

In an interview with The New York Times published Sunday, Bates announced that the highly anticipated reboot of Matlock, due out later this month, will be her final project as an actor before retirement.

Everything Ive prayed for, worked for, clawed my way up for, I am suddenly able to be asked to use all of it, she told the outlet. And its exhausting.

This is my last dance, she added.

The original Matlock aired on NBC, and later on ABC from 1986 to 1995. The series starred Andy Griffith as criminal defense attorney Ben Matlock, who is noted for his ability at uncovering clues overlooked by law enforcement officials and, hence, securing an acquittal for his clients.
