For over three decades, the Conner family has been a staple of American television, delivering laughs, relatable struggles, and heartfelt moments. Beginning with Roseanne in 1988 and later continuing as The Conners, this beloved sitcom has remained a fan favorite.

From Roseanne to The Conners – A Sitcom Legacy
Roseanne debuted on ABC in 1988 and quickly became one of the most talked-about sitcoms of its time. The show followed Roseanne and Dan Conner as they raised their family in working-class America, offering a refreshingly realistic look at everyday struggles. The series ran for nine seasons before concluding in 1997.
In 2018, ABC revived Roseanne, bringing back the original cast and reigniting fan excitement. However, the revival was short-lived after controversial remarks from star Roseanne Barr led to its abrupt cancellation.
Instead of ending the story completely, ABC quickly reworked the series into The Conners, shifting the focus to Dan, Jackie, Darlene, Becky, and DJ—proving that the heart of the show had always been its family dynamic.
Final Season Details Revealed
After six successful seasons, ABC announced in May 2024 that The Conners would come to an end with its seventh season. Now, fans have an official premiere date: March 26, 2025.
Unlike previous seasons, which typically featured around 12 episodes, the final season will be significantly shorter. ABC has confirmed that the series will wrap up with a six-episode run, with the final episode set to air on April 30, 2025.

What’s Next for ABC’s Lineup?
As The Conners prepares to exit, ABC is making room for fresh content. Tim Allen’s latest sitcom, Shifting Gears, currently occupies the 8 p.m. time slot on Wednesdays. The show has already built a strong following and is expected to continue beyond its first season, which wraps up on March 19, 2025 — just one week before The Conners returns for its farewell season.
For fans who have followed the Conner family for over 35 years, this farewell will be an emotional one. While the series may be ending, its impact on television history is undeniable. Whether through reruns or streaming, The Conners will continue to resonate with audiences for years to come.
