‘The Conners’ Renewed for Seventh & Final Season at ABC

The Conners fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the ABC comedy will return for a seventh and final season at the network.

The Roseanne spinoff was rumored to be renewed for an abbreviated final run by Deadline, which originally reported that the upcoming season would allow for the wrap-up of ongoing storylines from the current sixth season. Fresh off of its 100th episode, The Conners renewal isn’t altogether shocking as the television family continues to delight.

Current original stars of Roseanne, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, and Lecy Goranson are expected to return for the season, reprising their roles as Dan, Jackie, Darlene, and Becky.

Uncertainty around the show’s future was hinted at last spring as it was teased Season 6 might be the series’ last. Thankfully, it will not be.

The Conners debuted in 2018, spinning off from the initial Roseanne revival which was canceled after comments made by former star Roseanne Barr. Since its debut, The Conners has continued to make viewers laugh as the show tackles new storylines for the titular Lanford-based family.

The show recently shifted timeslots on ABC, moving to the spot right after Abbott Elementary, one of the network’s big winners, giving it a nice lead-in for a ratings boost.

Regarding the show’s final Season 6 episodes and whether they feel like a series or season finale, executive producer and showrunner Bruce Helford told Deadline, “We’ve got a final episode that may be one or the other. We love it.” Stay tuned for more on The Conners Season 6 finale as we approach the episode, and let us know what you hope to see when it returns for a seventh season at ABC.
