After six successful seasons, ABC’s hit sitcom The Conners will wrap up its journey with a seventh and final season set to air in 2024-2025. This announcement brings mixed emotions for fans who’ve followed the beloved Conner family through decades of heartfelt storytelling, first in Roseanne and now in its acclaimed spinoff.
A Short, Bittersweet Goodbye
Unlike its predecessors, the final season of The Conners will be notably shorter, with an episode count expected to be in the single digits. For perspective, the shortest prior season was the first, which ran 11 episodes. By the series finale on May 22, 2025, The Conners will have amassed 106 episodes—a significant milestone for a show born out of the ashes of controversy.
The show’s origins trace back to 2018, when ABC abruptly canceled its Roseanne revival after Roseanne Barr made racist remarks. Determined to preserve the legacy of the Conner family, producers Sara Gilbert and Tom Werner negotiated Barr’s exit, paving the way for The Conners. The series picked up with Roseanne’s character written out and quickly proved its staying power, becoming ABC’s most-watched comedy every year since its debut.
A Stellar Cast and Unforgettable Legacy
Anchored by a talented ensemble cast, including John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, and newcomers like Katey Sagal and Jay R. Ferguson, The Conners has brought humor and heart to millions. It is one of the few independently produced shows on a major network, coming from Werner Entertainment rather than a studio affiliate.
This season, the show has averaged 4.3 million viewers per week with delayed viewing—a testament to its enduring appeal in an era when linear ratings often struggle to hold steady.
What to Expect in the Final Season
With the final season’s shorter run, fans can expect a tightly packed farewell filled with emotional moments and resolutions to long-running storylines. Will the series revisit its roots in Roseanne for one last nostalgic touch? Can the Conners overcome their struggles and find happiness in their chaotic, lovable way?
The End of an Era
As the show bids farewell, its impact on television will be remembered as a testament to resilience—both on-screen and off. From overcoming real-world controversies to becoming a consistent ratings performer, The Conners has proven that family sitcoms still have a vital place in modern television.
The final chapter is set to be a must-watch event, marking the end of one of ABC’s most enduring legacies. Fans are encouraged to tune in and say goodbye to the Conners as they navigate their last adventures together.
