Ever since ABC canceled its prime-time "Roseanne" revival in the wake of a racist tweet from the show's leading lady, there's been buzz about bringing it back without the title star.
And now it's official: The network has given the green light to "The Conners."
The new take on the classic sitcom will air in the fall and 10 episodes have already been ordered.
There's no word yet on how the matriarch of the series will be written out, though the press release did state that, "After a sudden turn of events, the Conners are forced to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before."
"The Conners" will air in the same Thursday night time slot "Roseanne" occupied last season
