In a shocking announcement that has left fans in tears, the beloved cast of “The Conners,” including Dan, Darlene, Becky, and Jackie, is gearing up for their final season. Viewers are bracing for an emotional journey as the family bids farewell to the show that has captured hearts for decades

The Conners family photo album is finally closing. The promised seventh and final season of the sitcom about the family from Roseanne, which has been on the air since 2018, is offering a look at the final days on set. And fans should probably get out the tissues.
In Entertainment Weekly’s exclusive backstage video below, Sara Gilbert, who has played Darlene Conner since its parent series debuted in 1988, notes that, “Somehow, it felt like it would be forever.”
Meanwhile, actress Lecy Goranson, who portrayed Gilbert’s older sister Becky on much of the show, speaks lovingly of her longtime workplace: “There wasn’t a day that I was not excited to come here to work.”
John Mellencamp’s 1985 hit “Small Town” plays all the while, adding an extra dose of nostalgia.
Actor John Goodman’s Dan Conner, the husband of Roseanne, who was played by comedian Roseanne Barr in the original series, yubi, also appears in character to give his close-knit family some advice. “If we hang together,” he says, “nothing can stop us.” Of course, before things get too mushy, someone cracks a joke.

After celebrating its milestone 100th episode last season, ABC announced in May that the beloved show, which also stars Laurie Metcalf as Roseanne’s sister Jackie, had been renewed for a final time. Like its predecessor, Roseanne, which aired from 1988 to 1997, the ABC series is about a blue-collar family struggling to make their way in the Midwest.
Noticeably absent, as she has been from the rest of series, is Barr. The 2018 revival of her show was abruptly canceled after just nine episodes, when its star and executive producer infamously made a racist post on social media. A Barr-less version of the family’s ups and downs, which features extended family members played by the likes of Katey Sagal, Emma Kenney, and Jay R. Ferguson, came back five months later. (As viewers saw later, Barr’s character was killed off with an opiate overdose.)

The sequel series has gone on to run a total of seven seasons, and it’s known for featuring big-time stars. Dan Aykroyd, Candice Bergen, Whoopi Goldberg, Juliette Lewis, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, the late Paul Reubens, Mary Steenburgen, and Danny Trejo have been among the guest stars. Recurring roles went to Michael Fishman, who played Roseanne’s son D.J. Conner, and Johnny Galecki, who was formerly Darlene’s boyfriend, David, as well as Sean Astin, Matthew Broderick, Brian Austin Green, and Christopher Lloyd.
The final hurrah of The Conners premieres Wednesday, March 26, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.
