Calgary Here's Your First Look At The 'Roseanne' Spinoff Without Roseanne Barr | HuffPost Entertainment - Action.News ABC Action News WestNet-HD Weather Traffic

ABC has been chugging along with the Roseanne spinoff, The Conners, without former star Roseanne Barr and now we have our first look.

In May, Barr essentially tanked the revival of the classic sitcom with her racist remarks on social media about former Barack Obama aide Valerie Jarrett. The network fired her and abruptly canceled the series, which had drawn an impressive 27.3 million eyeballs to its premiere. A month later, ABC announced the spinoff .

The first image from The Conners, which debuts in October, was released on Friday and it shows the gang all back together sans Roseanne.

In the behind-the-scenes photo, the new cast including original series regulars John Goodman, Laurie Metcalfe and Sara Gilbert are gathered at the familys kitchen table for a script read-through.

Production on the new series kicked off in Burbank, California, this week.

As for what lies ahead for Barrs alter ego, Goodman revealed that she might be six feet under when the family returns to TV. I guess hell be mopey and sad because his wifes dead, Goodman told The Times of London when asked whats to come for his character Dan.

Representatives for ABC declined to address HuffPosts request for comment regarding how Barrs absence will be handled.
