Disappointing The Conners Season 6 Update Proves The Roseanne Spinoff Needs Season 7

The latest update regarding The Conners season 6 argues why it needs to be renewed for season 7. ABC’s premier sitcom may have had a shaky start branching out from the canceled Roseanne revival, but it has established its own identity since it kicked off in 2018. Instead of finding a way to keep the door open for Roseanne Barr’s possible return, the network effectively killed any chance of her stepping back into the sitcom when it was revealed that the Conners’ matriarch unexpectedly died of an opioid overdose. Aside from its tragic nature, the manner of her demise perfectly encapsulates an American crisis that primarily plagues the family’s demographic.
