Roseanne is headed back home.

ABC, the landmark comedy’s original network, has beat out Netflix for rights to an eight-episode present-day revival featuring pretty much the entire original cast, including titular star Roseanne Barr, leading man John Goodman (Dan) and supporting players Sara Gilbert (Darlene), Laurie Metcalf (Jackie), Michael Fishman (D.J.) and Lecy Goranson (original Becky).

Sarah Chalke, who shared the role of Becky with Goranson, will appear in “another role,” per ABC.

“We’re rebooting Roseanne,” ABC president Channing Dungey confirmed Tuesday on a conference call with reporters, adding that the continuation “is planned for midseason.”

Will be interesting to see what Goodman's role is like. They'll probably rewrite history.

I read where he faked his death and got out of dodge.

didn't they basically do that when they said it was all part of Roseanne's book?

Yeah, but I think that's when they revealed that Dan had died. So wouldn't that make his death "cannon?" I need to consult some Roseanne fan boards for expert ruling.

This is a reboot I can get behind. And 8 episodes is enough. We don't need multiple seasons retreading situations and characters we are basically remembering fondly.

I'm assuming they'd do more episodes if this does well

Yeah, the whole last season was a fantasy for her book but Dan actually died.

She said his affair during the last season was based off of her hurt because of his death or some such bullshite.
