Some time after the cancellation was confirmed, some news sources announced that the show could possibly be re-tooled as a spin-off focusing on Sara Gilbert's character of Darlene.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tvguide.com/news/darlene-roseanne-cancellation-spinoff/|title=These ''Roseanne'' Fans Want a Darlene Spinoff, and It Might Just Happen|first=Amanda|last=Bell|work=TV Guide|date=June 3, 2018|access-date=June 3, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://tvline.com/2018/06/01/roseanne-spinoff-darlene-sara-gilbert-abc-renewed/|title=''Roseanne'' Lives?

Around June 15, 2018, ABC was close to making a deal to indeed continue production as a Darlene-centric show,<ref>{{cite web |url=https://deadline.com/2018/06/roseanne-spinoff-update-optimism-deal-abc-title-roseanne-barr-agreement-1202411838/ |title='Roseanne' Spinoff Update: More Progress As Deal Could Come Within A Week |last=Andreeva |first=Nellie |date=June 16, 2018 |website=[[Deadline Hollywood|Deadline]] |access-date=June 16, 2018}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2018/06/roseanne-darlene-spin-off-plans-abc |title=It Looks Like ABC Really Is Making That Darlene-Centric Roseanne Spin-Off |last=Stefansky |first=Emma |website=[[Vanity Fair (magazine)|Vanity Fair]] |date=June 16, 2018 |access-date=June 16, 2018}}</ref> though it was also possible that it would be titled ''The Conners'' and star the whole family.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://moviehole.net/2018138681the-conners-sans-roseanne-barr-likely-a-go-at-abc |title=The Conners, sans Roseanne Barr, likely a go at ABC |website=MovieHole |access-date=June 16, 2018}}</ref> The spin-off could only go forward assuming Barr signed a deal to give up rights to the show, meaning she wouldn't be involved creatively or financially.

On June 21, 2018, ABC officially ordered a 10-episode spin-off titled ''[[The Conners]]'' (at first tentatively titled that, then officially), and that it would involve every original cast member except Barr. On August 28, 2018, this extended to Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara, and Jayden Rey from the tenth season, as they were all confirmed to return for the spinoff.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Ausiello |first1=Michael |title=The Conners: 3 More Roseanne Alums Officially Join ABC Spinoff |url=https://tvline.com/2018/08/28/the-conners-season-1-cast-roseanne-spinoff-emma-kenney/ |website=TVLine |access-date=August 28, 2018 |date=August 28, 2018}}</ref> Returning characters such as Beverly Harris ([[Estelle Parsons]]), David Healy ([[Johnny Galecki]]), Chuck Mitchell ([[James Pickens Jr.]]), and Crystal Anderson ([[Natalie West]]) were later confirmed.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tvline.com/2018/06/21/roseanne-spinoff-ordered-abc-sara-gilbert-darlene/|title=''Roseanne'' Spinoff ''The Conners'' Ordered to Series at ABC, to Premiere This Fall — Is Roseanne Going to Be Killed Off?|first=Dave|last=Nemetz|work=TV Line|date=June 21, 2018|access-date=June 21, 2018}}</ref> The series premiered on October 16, 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tvline.com/2018/07/24/abc-premiere-dates-fall-2018-greys-anatomy-the-conners/|title=ABC Fall Premiere Dates: XL Grey's, Nathan Fillion's Rookie, The Conners (Minus Roseanne) and More|last=Swift|first=Andy|work=TV Line|date=July 24, 2018|access-date=July 24, 2018}}</ref>
