The Conners is coming to ABC this fall.
The series rose like a phoenix from the ashes after the network swung the ax on Roseanne.
Who will and won’t be appearing on this new series?
Find out below.
So… Who’s Coming Back?
Who will be part of The Conners?
John Goodman
John Goodman will return as Dan Conner for the spin-off, but how will the character cope with the absence of his wife?
Jayden Rey
Jayden Rey will return for The Conners, according to TV Line. This time, however, she will be a series regular as opposed to recurring.
Michael Fishman
Despite sparring with his former co-star, Roseanne Barr on social media, Michael will be back as D.J. Conner.
Laurie Metcalf
Laurie will be back as Jackie Harris, and something tells us she’ll be getting a lot more screen time this time around.
Lecy Goranson
Lecy Goranson will return is Becky for The Conners Season 1, which will take place in a world Roseanne is no longer part of.
Ames McNamara
Ames will return as a series regular for the offshoot, according to TV Line.
Sara Gilbert
Gilbert was instrumental in making the spin-off happen, so it makes sense that she would return as Darlene Conner-Healy.
Emma Kenney
Emma was quick to distance herself from the series when Barr’s racist tweet broke, but TV Line is reporting the Shameless star will definitely be back for the spin-off.
Who Might Not Be Back?
Get ready for it…
Sarah Chalke!
There’s been no confirmation yet whether Sarah Chalke will return as Andrea. It’s not looking good that we’re this close to the premiere, and her name is still ominously missing.
Roseanne Barr Is DEFINITELY Out
As previously reported, Roseanne Barr will not appear in the spin-off following ABC’s decision to cancel her series after a racist tweet aimed at former Obama aide, Valerie Jarrett.
When Does The Conners Debut?
Tuesday, October 16 at 8/7c!
