The move was a no-brainer. ABC was in need of a new hit show, and “Roseanne” is the biggest out-of-the-box hit to come along in years.
The network’s announcement on Friday actually called it an “11th season” renewal — a nod to the show’s roots in the 1990s.

“We’re thrilled that America has welcomed the Conner family back into their homes. The show is as fresh and relevant today as it was when it left the air 21 years ago. We can’t wait to see what the ‘Roseanne’ team has in store for next year,” Channing Dungey, the president of ABC Entertainment, said in a statement.
The “Roseanne” reboot has been the talk of Hollywood ever since initial ratings from Nielsen showed that 18 million people tuned in to it on Tuesday night.
I just got the call-thank u ABC! Thank you, Roseanne Show family (including fans)
