It won’t be long now until we finally get a chance to see what ABC is cooking up for the Roseanne revival, and now we know that even more familiar faces will be joining the cast. According to a report from TVLine, Estelle Parsons is set to reprise her role as Beverly Harris, Roseanne and Jackie’s lesbian mother. The 90-year-old actress will likely appear in two of the revival’s nine new installments.
In addition to Parsons, Sandra Bernhard will also be returning to the series as Rosanne and Jackie’s sassy, gum-smacking lesbian friend Nancy Bartlett for one episode. Bernhard also confirmed the news on her Twitter account yesterday.
Returning to the series will be Roseanne Barr, John Goodman (whose series finale death will be ignored), Laurie Metcalf, Johnny Galecki, Michael Fishman, Sarah Gilbert, and Lecy Goranson and Sarah Chalke (yes, both Beckys!) will all return for new installments of the classic series. In addition to the series’ vets, newcomers include Emma Rose Kenny (Shameless), Ames McNamara, and Jayden Rey.
There has been no premiere date announced yet for the Roseanne revival, but it’s likely that ABC will let us know soon just when we get to reunite with our favorite characters.
