A spinoff of a reboot? Roseanne was officially canceled on Tuesday, May 29, following racist tweets by its lead Roseanne Barr. However, it may eventually return to ABC. A spinoff of the reboot focus on Sara Gilbert’s Darlene is currently in very early talks at the network, according to TVLine. ABC did not respond to the request for comment.

Roseanne, which received massive ratings when it premiered in March, was axed after Barr tweeted about Obama advisor Valerie Jarrett, saying she looked like “Muslim brotherhood and Planet of the Apes had a baby.” Just hours after her tweet, the network pulled the plug.

“Roseanne’s Twitter statement is abhorrent, repugnant and inconsistent with our values, and we have decided to cancel her show,” President of ABC Entertainment Channing Dungey said in a statement at the time.
