The Conners could be ending with the 2023-24 television season. ABC has not yet officially renewed the comedy for its sixth season, but its understood that the final details are being ironed out.
Starring John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara, Jayden Rey, and Jay R. Ferguson, the comedy series is a continuation of the long-running Roseanne series. The comedy follows the Conner clan as they grapple with parenthood, dating, financial pressures, and aging in working-class America.
Executive producer Bruce Helford said the following about the future of the ABC comedy, per TV Line:
“Sara Gilbert expressed to the network that we don’t want to go out without knowing that we are going out with a series finale so we can build to the right ending — and at this point in time, we feel that [next season] is possibly going to be the last season of The Conners. I would not [say that] definitively because the numbers were so good this season, and we’ve all had a really great time… but it’s definitely a possibility.
The conversation right now is about how many episodes can we do [depending on] whatever happens with the writers’ strike. There may only be 13 episodes. Obviously, we always want to do 20 or 22 [episodes], but at this point in time, we’re talking about if we can do 13 — God willing — and if we can do more, we’ll do more.”
The Conners wraps its fifth season tomorrow night on ABC.
What do you think? Do you enjoy this ABC comedy series? Is season six the right time to end The Conners?
dont ever want to see it end, its one of the funniest and self relating shows on the tv.
I love this show! Please keep it going! So hard to find relatable family comedy!
I hope they don’t end The Conners after Season six, as it really has become one of my favorite shows. Hope the Writers strike ends soon so they can write the 22 episodes!
Love the Conners
“The Conners” is a terrific comedy series. It had a rough start, but it’s gotten better and better. The fifth season finale was both funny AND moving. I don’t know why so many people hate on Darlene’s character; she’s grown a lot in the last few seasons. Of course, there’ll never be another Jackie. And Ben was a wonderful addition. (I can’t believe I don’t remember Jay R. Ferguson from “Mad Men”. I’m going to go back and rewatch the 46 episodes in which he played Stan Rizzo.) Last but not least, respect to the writers for creating such a… Read more »
No it’s not the right time to end the conners I still love the show..
Was better when Jackie & roseanne were together.. I laughed so much back then.. can’t really remember too much laughter on the connors.. although I keep watching hoping they will bring Roseanne back like they did Dan 🙂
Bye!!! Should have been over from Roseanne’s death, boring nothing good ever comes to them, no new actors don’t make it any better, it was turning into shameless rated PG! Instead of DJ they should have gotten rid of Darlene!!!!! Morbid!! Give Roseanne and Jackie their own show!!!!
I STILL enjoy this show very much. There is no forced laughter involved. Continue to renew.
I think the show still has SO MUCH LIFE to it! It should continue as long as ratings are still up!!
Great show. We need to keep good comedies.
LOVE that show
The Connor’s needs to have at LEAST 20 seasons! It’s such a good show!!
Good riddance!!
Definitely keep doing the conners
