PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – An old favorite is returning to CBS.

"Murphy Brown" will return to the network this year.

CBS has ordered a 13-episode revival of the classic sitcom.

Original star Candace Bergen is set to reprise her role as the broadcast journalist.

CBS says:

Bergen will reprise her role as the famous investigative journalist and TV anchor at the FYI network, as Murphy Brown returns to a world of cable news, social media, fake news and a very different political and cultural climate.

Creator Diane English will also reportedly return.
