Roseanne, the hit 1990s television comedy about a working-class American family, could be on its way back.
Variety and Deadline.com have reported that a revival with original cast members Roseanne Barr, John Goodman and Sara Gilbert was being shopped around broadcast networks and streaming services.
The original Roseanne was broadcast from 1988 to 1997 and was the most watched TV show in the United States in 1989 and 1990. It featured a blue-collar family, with overweight parents, who were struggling to get by in the fictional town of Lanford, Illinois.
The show was praised for being a realistic portrayal of a working-class family.
Deadline.com said the intention was to include other principal original actors, such as Laurie Metcalf and current Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki, in the reboot.
In an appearance in March on daytime talk show The Talk, which is co-hosted by Gilbert, Goodman was enthusiastic about bringing back the show.
Roseanne would be the latest hit show from the 1980s and 199Os to get a revival. Will & Grace, a comedy that helped bring gay men and women into mainstream pop culture, is returning to NBC with 12 new episodes within the next year.
Supernatural crime drama Twin Peaks, which will receive its first screening at his Cannes' Film Festival, is coming back in May some 27 years after it was first shown.
There have also been revivals or sequels to popular American TV series Gilmore Girls and Full House in the past two years.
