'Murphy Brown': Bette Midler, Peter Gallagher and Brooke Shields to appear on CBS Comedy

Candice Bergen reprises her role as the famous investigative journalist and TV anchor Murphy Brown as the world grapples with social media and fake news

Candice Bergen has returned to reprise her role as the famed investigative journalist and TV news anchor Murphy Brown. This time, she is returning with a plethora of new characters who will see Murphy fight through a very different kind of political and cultural atmosphere as a journalist where she will try to bring back the authenticity of reporting in an age of fake news. Bergen will also be joined by some of the most well-known faces of television and film as Nik Dodani from 'Atypical', Bette Midler, Brooke Shields, and Peter Gallagher will join the gang.

The show will feature some of its old stars as well including Grant Shaud as the strong-headed producer of Murphy's show, Miles Silverberg, Faith Ford as the former beauty pageant and Murphy's most annoying secretary, Corky Sherwood, and of course there will also be Joe Regalbuto as Frank Fontana, an investigative reporter who's traditionally been willing to take risks.
