Sometimes raunchy comic Roseanne Barr will return to TV with a sitcom for the first time since her wildly popular original show premiered almost 30 years ago.
The first new original episode of “Roseanne” will air March 27, ABC announced Friday.
“Roseanne” will air Tuesdays from 8-8:30 p.m., the same time slot it did as in the final two seasons of its original 1988-97 run.
“The Middle,” which had been airing in the 8 p.m. Tuesday time slot will move to 8:30 p.m. Tuesday beginning April 3.
The “Roseanne” season premiere will run for an hour.
Roseanne Barr and the entire cast from original run will appear in the reboot, including both actresses who played oldest daughter Becky.
Lecy Goranson, who played the role in the series’ first five seasons and part of the eighth, will play the role in the reboot. Sarah Chalke, who played the role in the sixth, seventh and ninth seasons and part of the eighth, will play a different role.
Guest stars from the original run who will appear in the reboot include Estelle Parsons, Sandra Bernhard and James Pickens, Jr.
