Well, it was at the same time that we found out that the show’s production company, Werner Entertainment, was still trying to work out a license-fee deal with ABC.
Conversations for that were already happening at the time, though, so, hopefully, we’ll see that get finalized so that next season can be officially announced.
So, what could still need to be ironed out at this point?
We learned around mid-April that Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf, and Lecy Goranson would be coming back for a 19 episode Season 3, so with those main pieces in place, it would seem like renewing The Conners would be no problem.
