Most of ABC’s existing scripted series have already been renewed for the 2024-25 season, but The Conners is not among them. If the venerable comedy doesn’t get a seventh season renewal, viewers will still get some closure.
Starring John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara, and Jay R. Ferguson, The Conners series is a spin-off of Roseanne. The story follows Dan Conner (Goodman), his children, grandchildren, and sister-in-law as they make their way in the working-class community of Lanford, Illinois.
Deadline revealed the following about the future of the ABC series:
According to sources, talks are underway between ABC and sitcom’s independent producer, Tom Werner’s Werner Entertainment, but I hear the main cast has not been approached yet.
In years past, the actors, who have been on one-year deals from the start, would have been just about done negotiating new contracts by now, paving the way to a renewal, which inevitably followed.
This time, the focus has been on renewal negotiations. If they are successful, I hear The Conners will likely be picked up for a seventh and final season.
The show’s 100th episode aired earlier this month, and the cast and crew have prepared for a series cancellation – if it comes – by filming a scene that could be added to the sixth season finale to close the series. Showrunner Bruce Helford said, “We’ve got a final episode that may be one or the other. We love it.” Production on season six wrapped last week.
The Conners is currently airing on Wednesday nights on ABC.
