Deadline reports that ABC has officially ordered a second season of Roseanne spinoff. News of the renewal were confirmed Friday.

“We are proud to be continuing the story of the iconic Conners family,” Karey Burke, president ABC Entertainment, said in a statement. “This team is fearless in their willingness to tackle contemporary issues with humor and heart, and I have no doubt they will continue to outdo themselves.”

The first season starred Roseanne alums including John Goodman (Dan Conner), Laurie Metcalf (Jackie Harris), Sara Gilbert (Darlene Conner) and Lecy Goranson (Becky Conner-Healy). The lot is expected to return to the 2nd season. The freshman season also featured a stellar lineup of guest appearances including Matthew Broderick, Juliette Lewis, Katey Sagal, Mary Steenburgen, Justin Long and Jay R. Ferguson. 

The Conners debuted in October. It followed the family as it grapples with parenthood, divorce, dating, aging and financial pressures in working-class America. The first season concluded in January.

Roseanne returned for a 10th season in late March — a full 21 years after the series ended its original run. The show — which received top ratings — was commissioned for an 11th season before Roseanne released a racist remark on Twitter. A tweet that prompted ABC to immediately cancel the show.

It was announced last month that the network would be producing a spin-off of the series entitled The Connors without its lead actress, but with the remaining members of the cast such as John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, and Laurie Metcalf all returning.

In an interview with Rabbi Shmuley Boteach, the 65-year-old said of the spin-off, “I didn’t ask to be paid off. I asked for nothing, and I just stepped away… because that is penance. I put a lot of thought into it.”

The Connors is expected to premiere in the fall.

The 65-year-old is not the most popular person in Hollywood at the moment after making racist remarks regarding a senior advisor to former US President, Barack Obama.

The incident resulted in her number 1 TV show, Roseanne, first being canceled by ABC, and then picked up as a spin-off called The Connors with which she will have no involvement.

However, a fellow comedian feels that Roseanne should not have been fired.

The host of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, Jerry Seinfeld, told Entertainment Tonight that he didn’t see why it was necessary to fire the actress.

“Why would you murder someone who’s committing suicide? But I never saw someone ruin their entire career with one button push. That was fresh.”

Jerry also feels that ABC could have replaced Roseanne when The Connors hits screens in the fall.

“I think they should get another Roseanne,” he said. “They brought Dan Conner back, he was dead and they brought him back. So, why can’t we get another Roseanne? There are other funny women that could do that part. You need to get the comic in there. I hate to see a comic lose a job.”

We wonder if he would be interested?

Last month, ABC decided to cancel its revival of Roseanne after its star, Roseanne Barr, made racist remarks on Twitter in reference to an aide of former US President, Barack Obama.

The tweet resulted in the network immediately canceling the series which was ranked number one and had already been renewed for a second season.

Following discussions between producers and network executives, ABC has now decided to order a spin-off which will focus on the remaining members of the family.

The 10-episode series, entitled The Connors, will feature the same cast and crew as Roseanne, while the 65-year-old will retain all rights to her characters, but will not have any creative or financial participation in the spin-off.

John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson and Michael Fishman are all expected to star in the new show whose premiere date has not yet been revealed.

You’re up, Connors.

Despite Roseanne being canceled last week, rumors are rife that a spin-off could be in the works. ABC announced that the revival of the show — which had already been renewed for a second season — would be canceled following remarks made by its star, Roseanne Barr.

Last week, the network and producers of the show reportedly met to discuss possibilities of a spin-off, with Variety saying that talks are still on-going.

One of the options for the spin-off is a Darlene-centric show.

The biggest hurdle for a spin-off could be that Roseanne gains financially from the show (as she created the characters) which ABC and producers will not agree to.

We’ll have to wait and see.
