What’s This TV Show About?
Airing on the ABC television network, The Conners TV show stars John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara, Jayden Rey, and Jay R. Ferguson. Katey Sagal and Nat Faxon recur. Picking up where the revival of the Roseanne sitcom left off, this series follows the extended working-class Conner family that’s led by widower Dan Conner (Goodman) and his three adult children — Becky (Goranson), Darlene (Gilbert), and D.J. (Michael Fishman) — as well as sister-in-law, Jackie Harris (Metcalf). Season five picks up after the double wedding of Jackie and Neville (Faxon) and Darlene and Ben (Ferguson). Meanwhile, D.J. has left to join his wife overseas but his daughter Mary (Rey) stays in Lanford. Members of the Conner family continue to grapple with parenthood, dating, financial pressures, and aging in working-class America. Through it all, with love, humor, and perseverance, the family prevails.
Season Five Ratings
The fifth season of The Conners averaged a 0.50 rating in the 18-49 demographic and 3.76 million viewers. Compared to season four, that’s up by 0.09% in the demo and up by 19% in viewership in the live+same day ratings (including DVR playback through 3:00 AM). While these numbers don’t include further delayed or streaming viewing, they are a very good indicator of how a show is performing, especially when compared to others on the same channel. There can be other economic factors involved in a show’s fate, but typically the higher-rated series are renewed and the lower-rated ones are cancelled. Find out how The Conners stacks up against other ABC TV shows.
The Conners has been renewed for a sixth season which will debut on February 7, 2024. Stay tuned for further updates.

What do you think? Are you glad The Conners TV show has been renewed for a sixth season? How would you feel if ABC had cancelled this TV series instead?
Yes it needs to stay. It’s the one show I always try to watch. For old times sake. Laurie Metcalf is an amazing actress along with the fantastic John Goodman. You would be making a huge mistake to let this baby go.
so far 3 episodes in conners is one of the networks highest rated shows live dame day… and ratings are up with the earlier timeslot… i would be so psyched if thy got a 6th season. i just wish the network wouldnt wait till the last minute like last year.
the eps are good too though no katey sagal yet… and i dont get why they couldnt keep michael fishman on as a director since he did a bunch last season.
