FORT WORTH, Texas — Roseanne Barr is returning to television and will film her new show in Texas.

“Meemaw” is Barr’s first time leading a series since her namesake show — “Roseanne” — was canceled after she made racist comments about one of President Barack Obama’s former staffers.

More than 20 years after its ninth season, “Roseanne” returned for a nine-episode 10th season in March 2018. The show ran its course and then was canceled that May after Barr’s comments. The show would return without Barr under the new title of “The Conners,” which ended earlier this year after seven seasons.

Not much is known about “Meemaw,” beyond that Barr will lead the show and that it will film in Austin from December 2025 to February 2026.

Earlier this year, Variety reported that Barr was making a show centering around a small-town Alabama farmer who is “saving the United States from drug gangs and China.” It’s unclear if this show and “Meemaw” are connected.

Ahead of camera’s rolling next week, Texas-based agency Legacy Casting is looking for background actors to appear in the show. Here’s what to know.
