ABC renewed the series for a seventh season on Friday, May 10, which will serve as its last. The final season will reportedly be shorter than previous installments and consist of six episodes, according to Variety.'You've been part of this family for years. After 6 seasons, be there to say goodbye,' ABC captioned a trailer sharing the announcement on YouTube Friday.
“While we wish the very best for the cast and production crew of The Conners, all of whom are deeply dedicated to their craft and were Roseanne’s cherished colleagues, we regret that ABC chose to cancel Roseanne by killing off the Roseanne Conner character,” Barr and her rabbi, Shmuley Boteach, told Us Weekly in a statement after the premiere in 2018. “That it was done through an opioid overdose lent an unnecessary grim and morbid dimension to an otherwise happy family show.
The rest of the cast, meanwhile, have often expressed their gratitude that the show has been able to continue despite the drama.
