“It’s lasted longer than I thought we would,” admits Conners star John Goodman.
US sitcom The Conners, which has vanished from Australian screens, looks likely to end with its upcoming 6th season, according to star John Goodman.
Goodman recently headed up this year’s jury at the Monte-Carlo TV Festival.
“I think we may be coming to an end on it, I’m not sure,” Goodman has told France 24. “It’s lasted longer than I thought we would. It was just supposed to be like an eight [episode] show and out thing at one point, but they picked us up again, and they keep picking us up.”
Executive producer Bruce Helford recently told TVLine it could also end with a shorter sixth season.
“Sara Gilbert expressed to the network that we don’t want to go out without knowing that we are going out with a series finale so we can build to the right ending — and at this point in time, we feel that [next season] is possibly going to be the last season of The Conners,” Helford said. “I would not [say that] definitively because the numbers were so good this season, and we’ve all had a really great time… but it’s definitely a possibility.”
A sixth season was renewed in May.
Its broadcast in Australia continues to go wanting, with 10 Peach having screened Season 3 in mid 2021.
A 10 spokesperson told TV Tonight in late 2022, “The Conners is not planned to come back anytime soon.”
