ABC announced the fate of The Conners in mid-May. Deadline reported that ABC officially renewed The Conners for Season 4. 

Returning Cast

In late April, Deadline reported that the four principal cast members on The Conners — Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, Laurie Metcalf, and John Goodman — signed new deals for Season 4.
