Roseanne Returns to TV in Lifetime Docu-Series

LOS ANGELES: Roseanne Barr will return to the small screen in a new 16-episode docu-series on Lifetime Television.

The untitled 16×30-minutes series will feature the Emmy Award-winning actress, who had her own show, Roseanne, on ABC from 1988 to 1997, in her new life on a 40-acre macadamia nut and live stock farm in Hawaii. Barr will be joined by her long-time writer-musician boyfriend, Johnny Argent, and son Jake.

Nancy Dubuc, the president and general manager of Lifetime Networks, said: “Roseanne Barr is an undeniable force of nature and the idea of following her in this unique premise excited us from the get-go. Roseanne is funny and brutally honest, and our audience will relate to her decision to go on this adventure and create an entirely new life for herself. We are thrilled she will make her long-awaited return to television on Lifetime.”

Barr commented, “I’m coming back down to earth, and keeping it real. They’ve said ‘Roseanne’s nuts’ for years, and now I’m going to make that a reality—I’m all about nuts now, macadamia nuts!”
