ABC has officially renewed The Conners for its seventh and final season, giving fans a long-awaited chance to say goodbye to the beloved sitcom. The final chapter will span six episodes, with main cast members John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, and Lecy Goranson all set to return. While securing the renewal took time due to cast availability—especially Goodman—the wait promises to be worth it.
ABC recently released a poignant “farewell season” promo, blending iconic moments from The Conners and its predecessor Roseanne. With The Conners celebrating its 100th episode earlier this year, the franchise joins the rare league of comedies to produce two series hitting this milestone. “You’ve been part of this family for years,” the promo nostalgically declares. “After six seasons, be there to say goodbye.”
Despite being on the renewal bubble for the first time, The Conners proved its staying power as one of ABC’s top comedies, joining Abbott Elementary in returning for another season. Meanwhile, ABC’s lineup shuffle has led to the cancellation of Not Dead Yet, while buzz grows around new pilots starring Tim Allen, Kat Dennings, and Ty Burrell set to debut next year.
Executive producer Bruce Helford revealed that the team was prepared for any outcome as they wrapped Season 6, even shooting an alternate tag scene for what could’ve been a series finale. Now, with the certainty of a final season, the series is poised to deliver a powerful, emotional conclusion. “We’ve got an episode that’s unexpected and heartfelt,” Helford teased.
Don’t miss the final chapter of The Conners, a show that has kept audiences laughing and crying for years. The farewell season promises surprises, nostalgia, and the perfect send-off for one of television’s most cherished families.
