April 20 (UPI) -- Cagney & Lacey and Judging Amy actress Tyne Daly is set to play Phyllis, the sister of deceased bar owner Phil, in the 2018-19 revival of the sitcom Murphy Brown.
"It's evident that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. She has taken over the bar and is a friend and confidant to Murphy and the gang," CBS said when it announced the 72-year-old actress' casting in the newsroom comedy Thursday.
