Get Your TV Ready For the Revival of Murphy Brown!

02/08/2018 - 04:20 PM

First Will & Grace [1] came back after 10 years off the air [2], then news broke that Roseanne [3] was being revived [4], and now it's confirmed that Murphy Brown is too! CBS has ordered 13 episodes of the sitcom with Candice Bergen reprising her role as the star reporter of the fictitious FYI network. The show's creator, Diane English, is also returning as a writer and executive producer, and this comes just in time for the 30th anniversary of the show airing. The show was originally on from 1988-1998, and as CBS stated in a press release, there is much material to explore this time around, too. It "returns to a world of cable news, social media, fake news, and a very different political and cultural climate." The show will come back in the 2018-19 season, but there's no word yet on who else from the entire original cast will return.
