If John Goodman is to be believed, upcoming Roseanne spinoff The Conners will see the family dealing with the aftermath of the death of matriarch Roseanne Conner.
Earlier this year, ABC announced that it was cancelling the newly-revived Roseanne after a single season, following series star Roseanne Barr’s controversial comments on Twitter about former White House adviser Valerie Jarrett . But, given the show’s success (the season premiere drew over 18 million viewers), it wasn’t long before ABC announced that the rest of the cast would be moving forward with a Roseanne-less spinoff, tentatively titled The Conners, although it wasn’t clear how the show would deal with Barr’s absence.
