- 6 years ago
ABC have confirmed a 'Roseanne' spin-off series without the involvement of Roseanne Barr.
The network recently axed the rebooted sit-com following a racist tweet from the 65-year-old star, but they will now debut a new 10-episode programme in the autumn, which will tentatively be titled 'The Conners'.
And a synopsis for the new show suggested matriarch Roseanne Conner could be killed off.
It read: "After a sudden turn of events, the Conners are forced to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before.”
The announcement for the new show stressed that Roseanne will have no financial or creative involvement in the new series.
