Created as a spinoff to the classic TV sitcom Roseanne, The Conners has etched its own place in TV history over the last seven years and 100-plus episodes. But all things must come to an end, and The Conners season 7 marks the final season of the show that has been a staple on ABC since 2018.

But fans should be prepared for an abbreviated ending of the series. Following an already shortened The Conners season 6 (due to the 2023 Hollywood strikes), there are reports that season 7 of the sitcom is going to feature the fewest episodes in the series run, likely in the single digits.

Find out more about The Conners season 7 below, including what we know about when the final season is going to premiere.

The Conners season 7 release date

The Conners final season is set to premiere on Wednesday, March 26, on ABC. The final season will consist of six episodes.

If you want to catch up with any episodes of The Conners, the series is available to stream on Hulu and Netflix (first five seasons available) in the US. Those in the UK can find the show on Sky Go.

Whenever The Conners season 7 premieres, you are going to need access to ABC to watch the latest episodes, which is available through traditional cable TV providers or live TV streaming services like Fubo, Hulu with Live TV and YouTube TV.

The Conners season 7 cast

ABC has not confirmed the official cast for The Conners season 7, but expect the main ensemble of John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara, Jay R. Ferguson and Katey Segal to return.

With this expected to be the final season, other former cast members may return, though again at this time nothing is confirmed.

The Conners season 7 plot

Based on the The Conners season 6 finale, season 7 will see the titular family deal with new phases of their lives. Darlene will be adjusting to members of the family (Mark and Becky) moving out and what that could mean for her; speaking of Mark, he'll likely have some trouble with his new illegal hacking job. Meanwhile, Dan and Jackie are going to continue to adjust to retirement.

These plotlines and more will plan to wrap up in the final season, which is slated to run just six episodes. Though in an interview with TVLine, executive producers Bruce Helford and Dave Caplan said they don't need more than six episodes to execute their plan for the final season, which they believe will "wrap this up with the dignity the show deserves."
