With just two weeks to go until the season premiere of The Conners, ABC has released a first-look trailer for the Roseanne spinoff series, which features the returning Sara Gilbert, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Lecy Goranson, Michael Fishman, Jayden Rey, Ames McNamara and Emma Kenney. Basically everyone but Roseanne Barr, whose character has been killed off following the actress’ racist social media comments earlier this year that led to the cancellation of the hit Roseanne revival.

“After a sudden turn of events, the Conners are forced to face the daily struggles of life in Lanford in a way they never have before. This iconic family—Dan, Jackie, Darlene, Becky and D.J.—grapples with parenthood, dating, an unexpected pregnancy, financial pressures, aging and in-laws in working-class America. Through it all, the fights, the coupon cutting, the hand-me-downs, the breakdowns—with love, humor and perseverance, the family prevails.”
The Conners premieres on ABC on October 16th.
