The news was confirmed Thursday, just a few weeks after Entertainment president Channing Dungey canceled the Roseanne reboot following a racist tweet was written by Roseanne Barr. 

Here’s the official logline from the network: “After a sudden turn of events, the Conners are forced to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before. This iconic family – Dan, Jackie, Darlene, Becky and D.J. – grapples with parenthood, dating, an unexpected pregnancy, financial pressures, aging, and in-laws in working-class America. Through it all, the fights, the coupon cutting, the hand-me-downs, the breakdowns – with love, humor, and perseverance, the family prevails.”

The new series will star John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson and Michael Fishman. The entire cast released a joint statement:

“We have received a tremendous amount of support from fans of our show, and it’s clear that these characters not only have a place in our hearts but in the hearts and homes of our audience. We all came back last season because we wanted to tell stories about the challenges facing a working-class family today. We are so happy to have the opportunity to return with the cast and crew to continue to share those stories through love and laughter.”

Barr will have no financial or creative involvement in the new series.

After announcing that Roseanne has been canceled following an offensive tweet written by the show’s creator Roseanne Barr, sources say that the execs at ABC are looking to re-brand the show by focusing on Gilbert’s character, Darlene. 

Gilbert took to Twitter to stand against the comment made by her co-star. 

She also expressed her sadness to see a much-loved series they worked so hard to bring back, disappear again.

Gilbert who was one of the persons leading the revival has called several cast members to gauge their interest in the event ABC gives the reboot the green light. TMZ reports that John Goodman is “very interested.”

Roseanne’s recent comments about Valerie Jarrett, and so much more, are abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show. I am disappointed in her actions to say the least.

This is incredibly sad and difficult for all of us, as we’ve created a show that we believe in, are proud of, and that audiences love— one that is separate and apart from the opinions and words of one cast member.

The news that the show has been renewed for another season came after the reboot’s premiere garnered record ratings. The sitcom made its return debut on March 27 and attracted a whopping 18.2 million viewers and a 5.1 rating in the coveted 18-49 demographic. 

ABC announced on Friday that Roseanne has been picked up for a second season of its reboot run. 

“We’re thrilled that America has welcomed the Conner family back into their homes,” Channing Dungey, president, ABC Entertainment, said in a statement. “The show is as fresh and relevant today as it was when it left the air 21 years ago. We can’t wait to see what the Roseanne team has in store for next year.”

The titular character, Roseanne Barr took to Twitter to share her excitement, pointing out to fans that this means they get to do a Halloween show. 

Among those who tuned in was POTUS himself, who even called to congratulate Barr on the show’s successful return. “It was pretty exciting, I’ll tell you that much,” Barr said during a phone interview on Good Morning America. ”It was just very, very sweet of him to congratulate us.”

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.
