Roseanne's back! Revival premieres on ABC
They were one of America's favorite families for nearly a decade. Now the Conners are coming back, more than 20 years after the last episode of Roseanne was aired.
The original cast from Roseanne is returning. See what they've been up to in the last two decades.
Roseanne Barr (plays Roseanne Conner)
A successful comedian outside of the show, in 2012, Roseanne tried a different path by running for president. She failed to gain the presidential nomination for the Green Party and ended up running for the Peace and Freedom Party, gaining 67,000 votes.
She's also had her own talk show, done stand-up comedy, judged Last Comic Standing, and starred in the reality show Roseanne's Nuts, about her macadamia nut farm in Hawaii.
John Goodman (plays Dan Conner)
Since the show ended, Goodman has starred in films such as The Big Lebowski, 10 Cloverfield Lane and Kong: Skull Island becoming a well-loved actor. Though Goodman's character passed away at the end of the original series, Dan is back in the new series.
