The Conners Season 7 Trailer Reflects On The Past 37 Years Ahead Of Final Season

The Conners is coming to an end with the release of the season 7 trailer, which reflects on the past 37 years ahead of the final season. The Conners, a continuation of the iconic '90s sitcom Roseanne, follows the family decades after the controversial Roseanne finale—mourning the death of their titular matriarch. With many of the original cast members back, the spinoff has continued to depict the trials and triumphs of the working-class family in the Midwest since its 2018 debut. The final season of The Conners is set to premiere Wednesday, March 26, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Now, Entertainment Weekly has shared a backstage video, offering a peek into the Conners' final day on set. To the tune of John Mellencamp's 1985 hit "Small Town," Sara Gilbert, who has portrayed Darlene Conner since the show's inception in 1988, reminisces about her time with the crew: "Somehow, it felt like it would be forever." John Goodman’s Dan Conner offers his on-screen family some final words of wisdom: “If we hang together, nothing can stop us”—before the mood is lightened with a joke.

What The Conners' Final Trailer Means

Saying Goodbye To An Iconic TV Family

The end of The Conners marks the conclusion of an era in television history. With roots tracing back to Roseanne, which ran from 1988 to 1997, the franchise has been a major part of American pop culture for nearly four decades. As one of ABC's most-watched series, The Conners has taken its beloved characters through countless milestones, challenges, and changes. Throughout The Conners' six aired seasons, Dan and Darlene both remarried, Becky battled addiction, DJ left Lanford without much explanation, and Jackie and Dan both settled into retirement.

Now, as the show heads into its final season, it has the difficult task of delivering a satisfying conclusion—not just to The Conners but to the entire Roseanne franchise. One lingering question surrounds Mark, whose secret hacking job to fund his education may not stay hidden for much longer. Beyond that, major shake-ups are likely in store for the family. Nonetheless, the cast of The Conners will continue to stick around as John Goodman prepares for his Smurfs reboot, Katey Segal wraps filming for Netflix's One Piece season 2, and Laurie Metcalf turns to Ryan Murphy's true-crime anthology Monsters.
