He's Alive!
The Roseanne series finale revealed a number of things about the show had been false, and they were just stories Roseanne Conner had written in her memoir. One of those changes was that Dan died. That will be addressed in the return.
Nasty Woman
Politics will play a role in the new nine-episodes of Roseanne, as you can see from the picture of Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) wearing a "Nasty Woman" shirt.
All the Laughs
Look closely at the picture and you'll see the medications Roseanne and Dan Conner are now on.
Sister, Sister
Roseanne Barr and Laurie Metcalf return as sisters Roseanne Conner and Jackie Harris. Looks like not much has changed here.
A Growing Family
While all your old favorites are back, the Conner family has grown in the 20 years since the show ended.
Roseanne (Roseanne Barr)
There wouldn't be Roseanne without Roseanne Barr. That's a simple fact.
Jackie (Laurie Metcalf)
It wouldn't be Roseanne without three-time Emmy winner Laurie Metcalf back as Jackie Harris, Roseanne's sister.
Becky (Lecy Goranson)
Becky No. 1 is back! Lecy Goranson played the role of Roseanne and Dan's oldest daughter on and off during the show's nine-season run. She left the show to attend college and eventually returned, sharing the role with Sarah Chalke.
Darlene (Sara Gilbert)
Sara Gilbert returns to Roseanne as Darlene and behind the scenes as an executive producer. Gilbert was instrumental in reviving the show.
Andrea (Sarah Chalke)
Sarah Chalke played Becky Conner for a time during the original series. She returns, this time as Andrea, a woman who hires Becky (Lecy Goranson) to be her surrogate.
Harris (Emma Rose Kenney)
Shameless star Emma Kenney joins the Conner family as Harris, Darlene's (Sara Gilbert) daughter.
