CBS宣布预定老剧《墨菲布朗 Murphy Brown》13集的复活新季,主创Diane English及女主演Candice Bergen皆确定回归,其他原主演则在谈合约;这部CBS半小时喜剧于1988-1998年播出,长达10季的该剧赢得三次艾美喜剧奖,并让女主Candice Bergen五次艾美喜剧女主奖。 Candice Bergen在新季继续饰演新闻记者Murphy Brown,重返有线台的她将面对新挑战,例如社交媒体﹑假新闻﹑截然不同的政治及文化气氛。(该剧出名在政治讽刺及反映当期时事,甚至曾让副总统Dan Quayle在剧中演出。)Murphy returns on air with her new liberally progressive cable news morning show to fight for honest reporting and stand against Trump and fake news. Her old colleagues join her, but her son Avery joins the rival, pro-Trump, Wolf Network.
