FAITH FORD, JOE REGALBUTO AND GRANT SHAUD, THREE MEMBERS OF THE ORIGINAL “FYI” TEAM, REPRISE THEIR CHARACTERS WHEN “MURPHY BROWN” RETURNS TO CBS
Faith Ford (Corky Sherwood), Joe Regalbuto (Frank Fontana) and Grant Shaud (Miles Silverberg) will reprise their original characters from the hit comedy when MURPHY BROWN returns to CBS for the 2018-2019 broadcast season.
As previously announced, CBS has given a 13-episode, series production commitment to a current-day revival of the Network’s classic comedy MURPHY BROWN from Warner Bros. Television.
Candice Bergen, who starred in the title role from 1988-1998, will reprise her role. 30th anniversary approaches, MURPHY BROWN returns to a world of cable news, social media, fake news and a very different political and cultural climate.
Warner Bros. Television, producers of the original series, will produce the new multi-camera comedy with original creator Diane English serving as writer/executive producer through her Bend in the Road Productions banner. Bergen will also be an executive producer.
During the show’s original 10-year run on CBS, MURPHY BROWN received 62 Emmy nominations (with 18 wins), 15 Golden Globe nominations (with three wins), three Screen Actors Guild awards, five Directors Guild nominations (with two wins) and four Writers Guild nominations (with two wins). Bergen won five Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe Award.
