    Roseanne spinoff series without Roseanne Barr

    -Roseanne Barr may be finished, but the Conners are not.

    Less than a month after ABC cancelled the hit revival of Roseanne because of a racist tweet by Barr, the network has decided to go forward with a spinoff that will not include her. ABC said Barr would not receive any payment from the network for the series, which is tentatively titled The Conners.

    The spinoff, scheduled to air on ABC in the fall, will include principal "Roseanne" cast members John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf and Sara Gilbert. The producers who ran Roseanne, including Tom Werner of Werner Entertainment, and the show's writing staff will also return. The new anchor of the Conner family is expected to be Darlene, the Roseanne character's younger daughter, who is played by Gilbert. The season will be 10 episodes.

    Before ABC approved the spinoff, Barr and Werner Entertainment agreed on a financial settlement, according to a person briefed on recent discussions, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe negotiations that took place among the star, producers and executives. That person would not reveal the sum of the payment.

    In a statement Thursday, Barr said, "I regret the circumstances that have caused me to be removed from Roseanne. I agreed to the settlement in order that 200 jobs of beloved cast and crew could be saved, and I wish the best for everyone involved..."

    I assume they will kill her off. I don’t think the reboot will last more than a season.

    That's what I was thinking too tho I wonder if they'll throw in some weird twist and try to make it Trump's fault she died.
