ABC’s acclaimed sitcom Roseanne is returning to TV on Tuesday, March 27 with nine new episodes, and now the network finally revealed the first trailer for the highly anticipated reboot. It shows the Conners in familiar surroundings and promises us tons of laughter. Check it out below.
Roseanne originally ran from 1988 to 1997 on ABC, revolving around Illinois working-class family and their everyday lives. It was one of the most watched TV shows in the United States during its 9 seasons and received acclaim from the critics.
After the show ended, Roseanne Barr was in talks to star as Roseanne Conner in a spinoff series, but those plans never came to fruition. After multiple attempts to revive the sitcom, ABC greenlit the project in May 2017 and ordered eight new episodes, and adding one more later.
Original cast including Barr as Roseanne, John Goodman as Dan Connor, Sara Gilbert as Darlene Connor, Laurie Metcalf as Jackie Harris, Michael Fishman as DJ Connor and Lecy Goranson as Becky Conner all agreed to return. Sarah Chalke, who portrayed Becky in later seasons of the original show, will return again but in a role of a new character named Andrea. Johnny Galecki will also reprise his role of David Healy in one of the episodes.
Norm Macdonald, who served as the writer for the show between 1992 and 1993, wrote all nine episodes of the reboot.
