ABC eyeing Roseanne spin-off focused on Sara Gilbert’s character
After ABC canceled Roseanne, it turns out that they are now eyeing a spin-off that would focus on Sara Gilbert’s character Darlene.
TV Line has been able to confirm that ABC might continue with Roseanne, but just in a different manner. After comments that Roseanne Barr made on Twitter, the show was canceled, but it may end up staying alive with a spin-off that focuses on Sara Gilbert’s character.
One great thing about the possibility of this show is that it could save the 200-plus actors, crew and writers’ jobs that were lost over the show being canceled. Roseanne even went to her Twitter to apologize for the fact that her words made a few people lose their jobs. She said, “Don’t feel sorry for me, guys!! I just want to apologize to the hundreds of people and wonderful writers (all liberal) and talented actors who lost their jobs on my show due to my stupid tweet.”

So far, ABC isn’t making any comments on if this show will come to light. TV Line explained that it will focus on Darlene, which could mean that everyone else but Roseanne might make an appearance. There is no reason that her sister and brother, plus of course David, might not be around.

For now, the fans will just have to wait and see what ABC decides for sure. The fans would love for a spin-off to happen. There has also been some talk that The Middle spin-off could end up taking over the spot on Tuesday nights that Roseanne aired in.
