The House of Mouse is doubling down on Roseanne Barr. ABC has renewed its Roseanne TV show revival for an 11th season. The sitcom, which originally aired on the Alphabet Network between 1988 and 1997, returned for a 10th season, earlier this week.
An ABC sitcom, Roseanne stars series originals Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert, Laurie Metcalf, Michael Fishman, Alicia Goranson, and Sarah Chalke, alongside newcomers Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara, and Jayden Rey. Returning guest stars include Johnny Galecki, Sarah Bernhard, Estelle Parsons, James Pickens Jr., Natalie West, and Adilah Barnes. The sitcom centers on working-class couple Roseanne and Dan Conner (Barr and Goodman), their family, and friends. Chalke, who replaced the departing Goranson as Becky in the original series, is returning in a new role.
Roseanne: A Look at the Ratings
The 10th season premiere of Roseanne earned a 5.20 rating in the 18-49 demographic and drew 18.44 million total viewers. Although its Nielsen ratings are likely to drop off, it still dwarfed all of the other ABC ratings for primetime entertainment programming (both scripted and unscripted).
Roseanne Season 11 Renewal Was Expected
As we reported earlier this week, ABC had been working on closing deals with the main cast and had until April 15th to get it done. Now the deal is sealed.

So I read where the son Jerry is suppose to be in Alaska? Well where is Jackie’s son Andy?? Never heard his name mentioned.. Maybe they’ll bring him on. I’m totally enjoying the show
This is the comment I made regarding the new Roseanne Show:
I think there should continue to be some political sparing. Families are facing this, and I think the levity can ease some of the tension. With so many of the TV shows containing one-sided political posturing, this is the first sit-com that I have enjoyed for a very long time.
I don’t know if I’m the one who is supposed to moderate it or what? Is my statement radical?
