ABC May Re-Reboot 'Roseanne' ‘TMZ’ first reported that Casey-Werner, the production company behind ‘Roseanne,’ is considering a reboot without Roseanne Barr involved. “the powers that be at ABC are exploring the possibility of re-branding the show and focusing on the character Darlene instead of Roseanne.” ABC cancelled the initial ‘Roseanne’ reboot after Barr went on Twitter to call former Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett an ape. The reboot without Barr would give jobs back to over 200 cast and crew members who are now out of work. Barr has since apologized for her comments and tweeted ABC begging for the show to be kept on air.
