Just a few weeks after ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey canceled the reboot following a racist tweet written by Roseanne Barr, the network confirmed Thursday that a new spinoff is in the works. 

Here’s the official logline for The Conners: “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, who released a joint statement following the news of the development of the new series:

“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.”

Executive producer Tom Werner released a statement as well confirming that he has reached an agreement with Barr for Werner Entertainment to producer another spinoff without “further creative or financial participation” from Barr. 

The Conners will join ABC’s lineup this fall.

After ABC announced that Roseanne has been canceled following an offensive tweet written by the show’s lead, Roseanne Barr, sources say that the execs at ABC are looking to re-brand the show.

TMZ reports that the Roseanne reboot may be rebooted for the second time. The new revival will, however, be centered on Sara Gilbert’s character, Darlene, Roseanne’s unemployed daughter, who is a single mom.

Gilbert who was one of the persons leading the revival took to Twitter to stand against the comment made by her co-star. 

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.

Gilbert has reportedly 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.”

ABC and Gilbert’s reps have not responded to requests for comment.
