‘The Conners’ Poised For Renewal; Will End Run With Abbreviated 7th Season

Good news for The Conners fans. The Roseanne followup, which just marked its 100th episode, will be getting a seventh season.

I hear the renewal is being finalized, with a short order to wrap the story expected. I hear it will be around 6 episodes, and the main cast, including John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert and Lecy Goranson, is expected to return. Both executive producer/showrunner Bruce Helford and star John Goodman indicated last spring that Season 6 could be The Conners ‘ last, with Helford stressing that star/executive producer Sara Gilbert –who was instrumental in getting The Conners off the ground following the shock cancellation of Roseanne — had requested enough lead time so the series can build to a proper ending.
