After the cancellation of Roseanne last May when the star tweeted out racist remarks, the network negotiated a new series with Barr that would happen without her benefiting financially or starring in the new show.
In a statement from the senior cast, many fans still supported a show without Roseanne, “it’s clear that these characters not only have a place in our heart but in the hearts and homes of our audience.”
The “anticipation” has us on the edge of our couch seats…
