'The Conners' Celebrates Season 3 Renewal, and Fans Join the Fun

'So awesome!'

In a post-season interview with TVLine, executive producer Bruce Helford acknowledged that there are always challenges putting new seasons of the show together since so many of the stars have other gigs. For example, Sagal signed on to star in an ABC pilot titled Rebel, which has been put on the backburner due to the coronavirus pandemic. Sagal will still be doing more Conners episodes, but "we don't know what her complete availability will be," he explained.

'Congrats to that whole crew!'

As for the romantic relationship, Helford and co-creators Bruce Rasmussen and Dave Caplan said they did have to slowly convince Goodman that giving Dan a new love interest would be a good idea. "John has lived with that character for so long," Caplan explained. "He's so deep into Dan that he has an internal metronome about how fast things should go and we wanted to respect that. So we talked to him and made sure that he understood how fast we thought we could go and wanted to make sure he was on board with that."

'Bring it all for Season 3!'

The Conners was born in October 2018, following the success of the Roseanne revival that aired earlier that year. ABC fired Roseanne Barr due to her controversial tweets, but the network searched for a new way to keep the Conner family on-air. Helford, Rasmussen and Caplan, with the co-operation of the remaining cast, put together a show following their lives after Roseanne's off-screen death.

'My prayers have been answered'

'Great news!'
