The Conners returns for its seventh and final season on Wednesday, March 26, on ABC. This last season will be a short one, with only six episodes. The premiere episode, titled “It’s Gonna Be A Great Day,” sees Darlene celebrating a promotion and Jackie considering a major lawsuit.
Here’s the Lowdown: The season premiere airs on March 26 at 8:00 p.m. EDT. Darlene (Sara Gilbert) is happy about her new promotion, which she hopes will mean more time with Ben (Jay R. Ferguson). Meanwhile, Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) discovers a potential opportunity to sue the pharmaceutical company she believes is responsible for Roseanne’s addiction.
What This Means Now: The final season of The Conners begins with a storyline that directly addresses the circumstances of Roseanne’s death, a major turning point for the series. The potential lawsuit adds a new layer of conflict and raises questions about accountability.
The Bigger Picture: This short, six-episode final season appears to be tackling some significant unresolved issues, while also offering, hopefully, closure for the Conner family. Fans can watch the episodes the next day on Hulu.
