ABC gave viewers a first look at its “Roseanne” spin-off “The Conners” with a 30-second teaser.
The sitcom features the Conners clan, sans Roseanne, as they continue to deal with life without their matriarch.
John Goodman (Dan), Laurie Metcalf (Jackie), Sara Gilbert (Darlene), Lecy Goranson (Becky) and Michael Fishman (D.J.) will all reprise their roles. Johnny Galecki will also return as David Healy and will bring along his new girlfriend Blue, played by Juliette Lewis.
Not much is shown in the teaser but snippets except for a short exchange between Jackie and Darlene as they try to figure out how to celebrate Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Roseanne’s fate still hasn’t been revealed but Roseanne Barr has mentioned that her character would be killed off by an opioid overdose.
Catch the premiere on Oct. 16 on ABC.
