‘The Conners’ Renewed For Season 4 By ABC

ABC’s top comedy series The Conners will be back for a fourth season.

The renewal was expected after Deadline revealed that the four principal cast members of the Roseanne spinoff — Sara Gilbert (who also serves as an executive producer), John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf and Lecy Goranson — closed new pacts to return for next season.

The Conners, shepherded by executive producer/showrunner Bruce Helford, is ABC’s No. 1 comedy this season in total viewers (4.7 million) and adults 18-49 (0.9/6).

In Season 3, The Conners continued to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford. Dan, Jackie, Darlene, Becky and D.J. grappled with parenthood, dating, financial pressures and aging in working-class America. Through it all – the fights, the coupon cutting, the hand-me-downs, the breakdowns – with love, humor and perseverance, the family prevailed.
