You know how they say time flies? Well, it’s been a full 25 years since Cybill first premiered on CBS, lighting up our screens with the unforgettable Cybill Sheridan, played to perfection by Cybill Shepherd. This show, brought to life by the creative mind of Chuck Lorre, charmed audiences for four unforgettable seasons. It not only solidified Cybill Shepherd's status as a star but also gave the entire cast their moment in the spotlight. But here's the real question—what are they up to now? Let’s dive in!
At its core, Cybill told the story of its namesake, a struggling actress in her 40s, navigating the complexities of life with humor and heart. Cybill Sheridan is juggling two daughters, played by Alicia Witt and Dedee Pfeiffer, two ex-husbands portrayed by Alan Rosenberg and Tom Wopat, her best friend Maryann (the incomparable Christine Baranski), and, of course, her career. Despite never hitting it big in the entertainment world, Cybill Sheridan is determined to make her next move count. It’s a story that resonated with viewers and kept them tuning in week after week.
Throughout its run, the show garnered an impressive dozen Emmy nominations, with Christine Baranski taking home one of those prestigious awards. It also earned five Golden Globe nominations, with Cybill Shepherd herself winning one. Now, when it comes to the possibility of a reboot or anything similar for Cybill, there’s one crucial factor that would need to be in place, according to the show's star.

“Christine and I were the soul of the show,” Cybill confided to Closer Weekly recently, reflecting on the possibility of bringing the sitcom back. “There was never anyone else even considered for her role. We had this chemistry that made the show what it was. So when networks started rebooting shows like Roseanne, I said, ‘We can’t reboot Cybill, because you have to have Christine.’”
That being said, Cybill also revealed that she has quite a bit to share about her experience working on the show. “I’ve never written my story, and I’m more than willing to tell it,” the Moonlighting star explained to Closer. It turns out that not everything was perfect behind the scenes, especially concerning the network executives. “And I am going to take some action,” she added, hinting at a story yet to be fully told.
Even though Cybill aired only 87 episodes between 1995 and 1998, its legacy lives on through syndication and reruns. Fans still find joy and laughter in the adventures of Cybill Sheridan and her circle of friends. The show's ability to resonate with viewers across generations speaks to its timeless appeal.
