- Comedian Roseanne Barr is making a return to television eight years after her dismissal from ABC's Roseanne reboot by self-financing a new single-camera sitcom titled Meemaw: A Modern Day Fable.
- The upcoming series follows Barr as a patriotic Texas grandmother in a mixed-race prepper family, starring alongside Drea de Matteo, Omar Gooding, and Randy Quaid.
- Barr revealed that she enjoyed filming romantic scenes with co-star Randy Quaid so much that she wrote extra make-out scenes into the script, prompting a humorous response from Quaid.
- Barr confirmed she is no longer in contact with her former Roseanne co-stars, expressing heartbreak over Michael Fishman supporting her 2018 dismissal and revealing that John Goodman declined a cameo role in her new show.
- The self-produced comedy project, which Barr described as her funniest work to date, currently remains without a network broadcast deal or distribution partner.
