Roseanne is an American television sitcom created by Matt Williams that originally aired on ABC from October 18, 1988, to May 20, 1997, with a revival season that premiered in 2018. Lauded for its realistic portrayal of the average American family, the series stars Roseanne Barr, and revolves around the Conners, an Illinois working-class family. In the ninth season, Roseanne and her family win the lottery and associate with "high society".
On May 16, 2017, it was announced ABC would produce a tenth season revival of the series, set to air as a mid-season replacement in 2018, with the original cast returning. The tenth season debuted on March 27, 2018.
On March 30, 2018, the series was renewed for an eleventh season of 13 episodes by ABC. However, ABC reversed its decision and canceled the series on May 29, 2018, when Barr was fired from the show after she posted a controversial tweet about former Obama-administration Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett. As of May 22, 2018, 231 episodes of Roseanne have aired, concluding the tenth season.
On June 21, 2018, the show was revived as a spin-off entitled The Conners, which has the same cast as Roseanne after her character dies of an opioid overdose. The show premiered on October 16, 2018, and aired all of its episodes on ABC, with the final episode airing on April 23, 2025.
