ABC highlighted some of the memorable moments from the ‘90s sitcom Roseanne in a nostalgic promo for its reboot of the show next year.
The nine-episode season 10 will debut with a special hour-long episode on March 27 at 8 p.m. It will feature all of the original cast members including Roseanne Barr as Roseanne Conner, John Goodman as Dan Conner, Laurie Metcalf as Jackie Harris, Lecy Goranson as Becky Conner-Healy, Sara Gilbert as Darlene Conner, Michael Fishman as D.J. Conner, Emma Kenney as Harris Conner-Healy, Ames McNamara as Mark Conner-Healy and Jayden Rey as Mary Conner.
Sarah Chalke, who played the character Becky in later seasons, will appear in another role, and the revival assumes Dan, who died of a heart attack at the end of the series, has actually survived. And current The Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki will return for a single episode.
Fan-favorite guest stars from Roseanne will reprise their roles, including Estelle Parsons as Beverly Harris, Sandra Bernhard as Nancy Bartlett, Natalie West as Crystal Anderson, James Pickens, Jr. as Chuck Mitchell and Adilah Barnes as Anne Marie Mitchell.
Roseanne “broke new ground” and won 17 Emmys during the time it ran on ABC from 1988 to 1997, and the revival will continue to “explore life, death and everything in between through the relatable, hilarious and brutally honest lens of the Conner household,” according to the network.
“With the inimitable Roseanne at its epicenter, fresh stories that tackle today’s issues and even more laughs from a brilliant cast and crew that haven’t missed a beat, audiences old and new will celebrate the homecoming of America’s favorite working-class family,” ABC says.
Roseanne is produced by Carsey-Werner Television. Executive producers include Roseanne Barr, Sara Gilbert, Tom Werner, Bruce Helford, Whitney Cummings and Tony Hernandez.
