2018 Fall TV: CBS All New Shows

Murphy Brown

One of CBS' most anticipated new series is the reboot to fan-favorite multi camera series Murphy Brown.

With Candice Bergen and series creator Diane English back on board, the series will follow Brown navigating the new world of 24-hour cable, social media, "fake news" and a vastly different political climate. Murphy returns alone with her original FYI team: lifestyle reporter Corky Sherwood, investigative journalist Frank Fontana and producer Miles Silverberg.

Murphy's son, Avery, shares his mother's competitive spirit and quick wit, and has followed in her journalistic footsteps — perhaps too closely. Now back in the game, Murphy is determined to draw the line between good television and honest reporting, proving that the world needs Murphy Brown now more than ever.

Along with Bergen, the series stars Faith Ford, Joe Regalbuto, Grant Shaud, Jake McDorman, Tyne Daly and Nik Dodany. Murphy Brown will air Thursdays at 9:30 p.m. ET starting fall 2018.
