Get ready for some Roseanne free Roseanne reboot, as ABC has renewed The Conners for a Season 2. The spin-off, which was born of the ashes of the knockout Roseanne reboot, will return probably sometime later this year with 13 new episodes. While we cannot say much about The Conners Season 2 release date at this point, we can; however, guarantee that the second season will visit its ancestral roots as part of its parallel narrative. Given that the new season will hopefully be slightly larger than the show’s last installment, we can expect a more extensive roster of guest stars, and maybe even a few permanent entries.
ABC has announced that The Conners Season 2 will feature the return of its main cast, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, and Michael Fishman, who all reprise their classic roles. The network is; however, mum on the fates of last season’s recurring cast members. While we can safely say that we have seen the last of a few like Matthew Broderick, Mary Steenburgen, and Katey Sagal in The Conners’ freshman run, we can’t maintain the same for a few other guest stars say, Jay R, Ferguson.
Whether or not will the series feature the return of its former guest stars in its new season is altogether a different question. At this point, we are looking forward to the fresh subjects The Conners Season 2 will dare to talk about. ‘Family’ has always been a front-and-premise of The entire Roseanne franchise. But The Conners contradicts its main plot when it fails to talk about all of the members of The Conners household.
During Roseanne’s original run. we saw Roseanne Conner delivering the family’s fourth child- Jerry Garcia Conner- named of course after the Grateful Dead vocalist. Jerry was born on Halloween in 1995 when Roseanne and Dan were in their forties. The lead star Roseanne Barr herself became pregnant three months after her on-screen alter ego.
In the 2018 revival, it was mentioned by Roseanne that he is on a fishing boat in Alaska. Photographs of him can be seen in the lounge room, which are actually photo’s of Roseanne’s real-life son, Buck Thomas.
The Conners; however, completely omitted even the slightest mention of the family’s fourth child. The show was obviously not in a position then to answer serious questions that were left unanswered by the Roseanne reboot. It was busy dealing with the death of its matriarch, and going from red to blue. The Conners Season 2; however, is in a much better to talk about a lot of things related to the original Roseanne.
The Conners may have been the second most viewed fiction offering on ABC, but it couldn’t match up with its predecessor in terms of numbers. Season 1 was able to perform decently, much due to the noise Roseanne had created by flinging a racist insult at Valerie Jarrett. Season 2; on the other hand, does not have a controversy around it that it could possibly bait to turn in more eyeballs.
In the past, The Conners have demonstrated its capability to trumpet starry cameos every now and then. Taking cues from the same, The Conners Season 2 will probably lock a noted face as its new season ‘highlight’. Season 2 can really cash on introducing a character on the lines of its obnoxiously loud matriarch, and who can depict the same traits better than a biological offspring. Back in the 90’s, when the original Roseanne felt like it needed a rejig, it quickly added two new main characters- Johnny Galecki and Glenn Quinn- to its cast. The Conners, of course, is too young to need a revamp, yet it still can take a more specified direction.
The Conners is effectively telling gripping stories about the same people. It can; hence, really benefit from allowing some footage for new characters as well. Introduction of Jerry Garcia Conner on the show can really hype up the new season’s arrival, aside from filling in the comic holes vacated by Barr.
