Roseanne Barr Returns With a Surprise Project After 2018 Scandal
The eight-episode comedy was privately financed and filmed as a fully unionized shoot, with Randy Quaid, Drea de Matteo, Omar Gooding and Doug Jones.
- Roseanne Barr has wrapped production on 'Meemaw,' an independent comedy filmed in Austin, Texas, where she plays the matriarch of a prepper family preparing to "throw her granddaughter the most fantastic bat mitzvah Texas has ever seen."
- Barr's return comes eight years after ABC fired her from the 'Roseanne' revival following a 2018 tweet about Valerie Jarrett, a controversy that led to the spinoff 'The Conners.'
- Co-Written with Allan Stephan and Allen Covert, the series features Randy Quaid, Drea de Matteo, Omar Gooding, and Doug Jones, with Barr claiming the project is "every bit as revolutionary as The Roseanne Show."
- The independently produced sitcom currently lacks a publicly announced network or streaming home, as Barr privately financed the fully unionized production.
- Regarding her 2018 firing, Barr reached out to Elon Musk for support, while continuing to defend her project as groundbreaking comedy.
