CBS Is Reviving Murphy Brown Next Season

Candice Bergen will be back for the sitcom’s 13-episode return

Once NBC’s revival of Will & Grace became one of this season’s biggest hits—and ABC scheduled a Roseanne return for midseason—it was only a matter of time before a rival decided to bring back another ’90s hit.

And now, CBS has announced it will be bringing back Murphy Brown next season, with Candice Bergen reprising her role as the anchor of fictional TV newsmagazine series FYI.

“As its 30th anniversary approaches, Murphy Brown returns to a world of cable news, social media, fake news and a very different political and cultural climate,” CBS said in a release.
