“The Conners” renewed for final season at ABC, “Not Dead Yet” canceled

“The Conners” has been renewed for Season 7 on ABC, which will also be the series’ last. Additionally, ABC canceled “Not Dead Yet” after two seasons.

The final season of The Conners will reportedly be shorter than previous seasons, comprising just six episodes, according to sources. ABC declined to comment on the length of the season.

“The Conners” originally debuted in 2018 on ABC. It began as a revival of “Roseanne,” but after Roseanne Barr’s tweets about former Obama administration adviser Valerie Jarrett, the revival was canceled. Not long after, it was announced that the series would continue as The Conners without Barr, with her character being killed off in the premiere episode of The Conners.

The series stars John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara and Jay R. Ferguson. Tom Werner serves as executive producer along with Gilbert, Bruce Helford, Dave Caplan, Bruce Rasmussen and Tony Hernandez. The series is produced by Werner Entertainment.

The Season 2 finale of Not Dead Yet aired on April 24 and now serves as the series finale. The show is based on the book “Confessions of a 40-something F**k Up” by Alexandra Potter. Gina Rodriguez stars in the series as Nell Serrano, an obituary writer for a local newspaper. “The kicker – she can see the dead people she’s supposed to write about, and they don’t hesitate to give her life advice,” the official logline reads.

The cast also includes Hannah Simone, Lauren Ash, Rick Glassman, Joshua Banday and Angela Gibbs. Casey Johnson and David Windsor created the series and served as executive producers. In addition to starring, Rodriguez also served as an executive producer. McG, Mary by Dean Holland and Wonderland Sound and Vision
Viola and Corey Marsh also executive produced. 20. Television was the studio.

With the two comedies now removed from ABC’s schedule, Abbott Elementary is currently the network’s only other comedy series to have previously been renewed for a fourth season. However, ABC has two comedy pilots in the works. One is Shifting Gears starring Tim Allen and Kat Dennings, the other is Forgive and Forget starring Ty Burrell. Since neither of them has been made into a film yet, no decision is expected for now.
