In 2018, Rosanne Barr was fired off her ABC sitcom Roseanne for a racist Tweet, but she’s now back in front of cameras. Page Six reports that the ’80s-’90s sitcom icon has just finished filming a new eight-episode sitcom entitled Meemaw: A Modern Day Fable, featuring Barr as the titular Meemaw and a supporting cast including Randy Quaid, Drea de Matteo, Omar Gooding, Doug Jones, Jon Lovitz, Tony Hinchcliffe and Kim Congdon.
Plot and Production
The show is about “the matriarch of a ‘mixed-race family of preppers in Texas’ who is on a quest to ‘throw her granddaughter the most fantastic bat mitzvah Texas has ever seen,’” with Barr telling Page Six that the show is “every bit as revolutionary as The Roseanne Show.”
Barr also told Page Six that she has reached out to X owner Elon Musk regarding the fact that she was fired for a Tweet, since he has pledged to use his massive resources to help people in similar situations. “He wouldn’t call me back,” she said. “Like, ‘Can I get some assistance over here, man? I got fired for a text that was up for two hours that nobody saw.’” Recently, she complained during an interview with NewsNation about Jimmy Kimmel’s reinstatement to the airwaves in the fall of 2025, compared to her own cancellation.
Release and Distribution
Meemaw was shot independently with money from private investors. There’s no mention of a distribution platform like Netflix or Hulu at this time.
In conclusion, Rosanne Barr is making a comeback with her new sitcom Meemaw: A Modern Day Fable, which features a star-studded cast and a unique plot. Although there is no release date or distribution platform announced yet, fans of Barr and her previous work on Roseanne are likely to be excited about her return to television. With its independent production and potential for controversy, Meemaw is sure to generate buzz in the entertainment industry.
