Amy Gravitt, EVP of HBO Programming, broke the news in an official statement and said they are thrilled that this take on a family comedy has been met with such enthusiasm. They’re excited about sharing the steps in the Gemstone family’s epic journey with showrunner Danny McBride and executive producers Jody Hill and David Gordon Green.

In addition to creating this show, McBride also plays the lead role in this story of a world-famous televangelist family with a long tradition of deviance, greed, and charitable work. The Righteous Gemstones also stars Adam DeVine, Dermot Mulroney, and John Goodman.

This isn’t McBride’s first time collaborating with HBO, since he previously worked on another successful sitcom Eastbound & Down, also executive produced by Hill and Green.

The short promo video features a slow zoom of the familiar couch in the family’s cozy living room. As Carly Simon’s Anticipation play in the background, words “What’s next?” suddenly pop up on the screen.

If you’re hoping for one of the Conners to enter the room and answer the question, you’re up for the disappointment. None of the familiar faces shows up in this short teaser, which offered more questions than answers.

The only thing we know for sure is that Roseanne Barr definitely won’t be coming back. ABC decided to cut ties with the star after she shocked the world with a series of offensive tweets.

The teaser doesn’t reveal much about the future of The Conners, but ABC gave us another sneak peek into the new series. The first photo was posted on the show’s official Instagram and it features the cast sitting at the kitchen table together. Sara Gilbert, Michael Fishman, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf and Lecy Goranson are some of the cast members coming back when this new sitcom premieres on October 16.

A revival of Roseanne is in the works, and fans will get to see America’s favorite blue-collar family return to their screens.

16 million viewers watched the series finale 20 years ago. In that same episode John Goodman’s character suffered a fatal heart attack. However, ABC entertainment President Channing Dungey told reporters that while they won’t ignore “the events of the finale… Dan is definitely still alive.”

It is not unprecedented that writers ignore how one network chose to wrap up a series. In the example of the Will & Grace revival, writers told EW that they will ignore how the original NBC series ended by giving the lead characters spouses and kids.

Audiences will be happy to hear that Dungey promised that Roseanne will still be a sharp and touching comedy telling reporters that it will “similar to the original… unflinching, honest and irreverent at times.”

Production is expected to begin in October.
