CBS has given a 13-episode order to a revival of ?Murphy Brown? with original star Candice Bergen.
Bergen will reprise her role as the titular broadcast journalist, bringing the character back to CBS 30 years after she first debuted it in 1988. The modern-day revival will see the show?s characters take on ?a world of cable news, social media, fake news and a very different political and cultural climate.?
Original series creator Diane English will serve as writer and executive producer on the show from Warner Bros. Television. Bergen will also executive produce.
The show?s original run lasted for 10 seasons, and earned a total of 62 Emmy nominations and 18 wins. Bergen herself took home the award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series five times.
