ABCs improbable full-cast revival of Roseanne is real, and now it has a premiere date.

Fans of the show can find out just how the heck Dan Connors is still alive when the nine-episode 10th season debuts with a special hour-long episode on Tuesday, March 27 at 8:00 p.m.

The full cast from the shows original run is returning for the new go-round, including Roseanne Barr, John Goodman as Dan Conner, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Michael Fishman, and both Beckys Lecy Goranson, who originated the character and will play her in the revival, and Sarah Chalke, who will play a new character.

Johnny Galecki, who currently stars in CBS hit The Big Bang Theory, is also returning for a single episode.

Goodmans inclusion is an interesting development since the series concluded with the character of Roseanne revealing that the final-season plot in which Goodmans character had survived a heart attack and the family won the lottery was all a dream.

In the reality of the show, Dan did not survive the heart attack. Roseanne Barr herself had an idea about how he returns.

The show also stars Emma Kenney, Ames McNamara, and Jayden Rey.

The original Roseanne aired nine seasons from 1988-1997 on ABC and won 17 Emmys. The series followed the blue collar Conner family, trying to make ends meet in Lanford, Illinois.

the boyfriends are definitely nonessential. in fact, it would be pretty weird if they were still with their guys from back when they were 15

yeah but how many shotgun teenage pregnancy weddings survive? Mark was a dick anyways, they were always fighting and he didn't deserve her. it would be weird if he was back.

Definitely very sad that his actor died though. Addiction claims another victim.

Mark was one of the best/funniest characters on the show IMO, especially the later seasons.

They'll either make Darlene a lesbian or a widow with Mark dying some comedic death that they play off of.

In a 2009 blog post, Barr revealed where all the Roseanne characters might be 20 years later and, yes, it addresses the Dan issue:

D.J. gets published, Mark dies in Iraq, David leaves Darlene for a woman half his age, Darlene meets a woman and they have a test tube baby, Becky works at Walmart, Roseanne and Jackie open the first medical marijuana dispensary in Lanford, Illinois, and pay off the mortgage before the house is foreclosed on, Arnie becomes the best friend of the Governor of Illinois, Mom sells a painting for ten grand, Nancy and Arnie remarry, Jerry and the grandsons form a band like the Jonas Brothers, Dan shows up alive after faking his death, Leon has a sex change op, [and] Bonnie gets busted for selling crack.

I'm really curious how they'll go about this given the finale.

-major spoilers-
Jackie was supposedly always gay, yet was into men as far back as the 1st season. Even got married and had a baby later on. Darlene and Becky were actually dating Mark and David, respectfully. Mark's actor died IRL. And of course, Dan really did succumb to a heart attack at the wedding... Hmm?

Still excited for the revival
