Is ‘Murphy Brown’ on Netflix?

Candice Bergen has returned to CBS!

After a 20-year absence, the renowned investigative journalist returned to TV last night… and she wasn’t alone. We won’t spoil the fun, but the premiere episode of the CBS revival featured a surprising cameo. If you’re feeling nostalgic, you can catch up with a classic Murphy Brown episode from 1988 before watching the revival.

Is Murphy Brown on Netflix or Hulu? Where can you stream the Murphy Brown revival? Here’s everything you need to know.

IS MURPHY BROWN ON NETFLIX? IS MURPHY BROWN ON HULU?

Sadly, no. Both classic episodes and new episodes of Murphy Brown are not available to stream on Netflix or Hulu.

WHERE CAN I STREAM THE ORIGINAL MURPHY BROWN?

Decider’s own Brett White answered that very question in his preview of the new season:

“The whole series is not streaming, and may never make it to streaming as the original run’s frequent use of (very expensive) Motown songs has kept it off of DVDs and platforms. But CBS All Access, with a new season of Murphy Brown on the way and a generation of TV viewers mostly unfamiliar with the show, devised a workaround. Instead of putting the whole series up (which would be very expensive), they selected 18 episodes that were void of any music rights issues and put those up. So you can stream 18 episodes of Murphy Brown right now on CBS All Access, ones without any recognizable tunes in them.”

The Season 1 episode “Funnies Girl” is now streaming for free on CBS.

WHERE CAN I STREAM THE MURPHY BROWN REVIVAL?

Episode 1 is currently streaming for free on CBS.com. Another option is CBS All Access, which is the only streaming service that has new episodes of Murphy Brown available to stream. If All Access isn’t your jam, you can purchase the Murphy Brown revival season for $29.99 on iTunes.

HOW CAN I SIGNUP FOR CBS ALL ACCESS?

CBS All-Access is available for as little as $5.99, but first-time subscribers can sign up for a free trial of All Access on the CBS website.
