Tentatively titled The Conners, the new show scored a straight-to-series order, with ABC forgoing the traditional pilot process.
It’s no surprise that ABC didn’t bother ordering a pilot and then evaluating based on whether or not it worked; the Roseanne revival already showcased all of these actors in their roles.
Roseanne Barr will have no financial or creative involvement on The Conners.
ABC has officially ordered a Roseanne spinoff starring John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, and Michael Fishman.
