'The Conners' teaser promo: What does 'Roseanne' look like without Roseanne Barr?

The first promo for The Conners shows that life will go on without Roseanne. ABC’s new Roseanne spinoff reunites the whole family, with the notable exception of Roseanne Barr (who played the title character in the classic ’90s Roseanne sitcom and in last year’s nine-episode revival). With their matriarch gone — reportedly dead from an opioid overdose, though ABC has not confirmed this — her sister Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) appears to be stepping in as head of the family. How Roseanne’s husband, Dan (John Goodman), feels about this isn’t revealed in the promo, but longtime fans might have a guess.

In the preview video, Jackie and Roseanne’s younger daughter, Darlene (Sara Gilbert), discuss budgeting for Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. “I say we follow the Conner tradition: Spend every dime we have on Halloween, and then we have nothing to be thankful for or buy gifts with,” Darlene suggests.

Also briefly visible in the clip is new cast member Maya Lynne Robinson, who will be taking over the role of Roseanne’s African-American daughter-in-law, Geena, from Xosha Roquemore.

ABC canceled its 2018 Roseanne revival in May after Barr tweeted racist remarks about President Barack Obama’s former adviser Valerie Jarrett. In June, the network announced a series order for The Conners, following a settlement with Barr in which she agreed to have no financial or creative involvement.

The Conners premieres Tuesday, Oct. 16, at 8 p.m. on ABC.
