Could the beloved sitcom Roseanne really be making a comeback in 2025? That’s what a viral Facebook post from June 4, 2024, claimed, sparking excitement and nostalgia among diehard fans. The post, shared by the account @YODA BBY ABY, promised the long-awaited return of the iconic Conner family in a fresh, heartwarming Season 11.
The Viral Buzz
“ROSEANNE SEASON 11!!! SUMMER 2025!!!” the post declared in bold, accompanied by a glowing description of the new season. According to the post, the plot would see Roseanne Conner reimagined as a quirky author penning books about life in Lanford, while the rest of the Conner family tackled their own hilarious challenges. The teaser promised humor, love, and all the feel-good charm that made the original series a cultural phenomenon.
The claim caught fire, amassing over 12,000 reactions and 5,100 comments. One fan gushed, “Can’t wait! It’s my absolute favorite show!”
Too Good to Be True
Unfortunately for fans hoping to revisit Lanford, the claim was entirely false. No official announcements were made by ABC Network, the original home of the show, about a new season. In fact, the post originated from a satirical Facebook account known for creating fake movie and TV posters.
The account’s bio includes a clear disclaimer:
“I’m just here to eat frogs, lift rocks and be satirical. The page is 100% satire and fake news. ❤️”
This same account has been linked to other fake posts, including ones about imaginary sequels for The NeverEnding Story and Speed 3.
A Legacy That Endures
While fans may be disappointed, the excitement surrounding the rumor speaks volumes about Roseanne’s enduring legacy. First airing from 1988 to 1997, the show captured the hearts of audiences with its authentic portrayal of working-class life and relatable humor. The brief 2018 revival also reminded fans why they fell in love with the Conners in the first place, despite the controversies that followed.
For now, though, fans will have to relive their favorite moments through reruns and streaming services. As for the viral claim? It’s a good reminder to double-check sources before getting too excited.
Even if Roseanne isn’t returning, the Conners’ place in TV history is secure. And who knows? Maybe someday, the laughs will return for real.
