"We're thrilled that America has welcomed the Conner family back into their homes," ABC Entertainment president Channing Dungey said Friday in a news release announcing the renewal. "The show is as fresh and relevant today as it was when it left the air 21 years ago. We can't wait to see what the 'Roseanne' team has in store for next year."

"Roseanne" was the No. 1-rated premiere telecast of the season. The two-part premiere was watched by more than 18 million viewers and scored a 5.1 rating, according to Nielsen.
