The Conners has been renewed by ABC for an abbreviated seventh and final season, according to Deadline.
What’s Happening:
- The popular follow-up to Roseanne will be getting a proper goodbye, as The Conners has been renewed for a seventh and final season.
- The season will reportedly only be six episodes long, with the main cast, including John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert and Lecy Goranson, expected to return.
- ABC has also released the first promo for the “farewell season,” which leans into the history of the Conners family across the two shows.
- With The Conners recently airing its 100th episode, Roseanne becomes a rare comedy franchise to produce two series that have hit that milestone.
- For the first time in its run, The Conners found itself heavily on the bubble this year, with a tag scene being shot to be added to the Season 6 finale — slated to air May 22nd — should it become a series finale.
