SitcomsOnline Digest: Dax Shepard Cast in Recurring Role on The Ranch; Jake McDorman Joins Murphy Brown Revival

Welcome to SitcomsOnline Digest! This week, we're hearing casting news about The Ranch and the Murphy Brown revival. We're also hearing that the One Day at a Time reboot on Netflix may be on the verge of cancellation. And of course, there are always reboots and revivals in the work, and we're hearing of yet another new one this week. Let's get going!
