Murphy Brown Revived by CBS

CBS is bringing back its classic comedy Murphy Brown, which will see Candice Bergen, who starred in the title role from 1988 to 1998, reprising the part.

CBS has given a 13-episode, series production commitment to the current-day revival. As its 30th-anniversary approaches, the series returns to a world of cable news, social media, fake news and a very different political and cultural climate.

Warner Bros. Television, producers of the original series, will produce the new multi-camera comedy with original creator Diane English serving as writer and executive producer through her Bend in the Road Productions banner. Bergen will also executive produce.
