Roseanne Barr Plans Controversial Comedy Series About 'Saving America'

The comedian's new show, inspired by her life and political views, will focus on a small-town farmer battling societal threats with unconventional methods.

Roseanne Barr is collaborating with Allan Stephan, a former producer of 'Roseanne,' on a new comedy series she plans to shop to networks or self-produce.
The show, described as a mix of 'The Roseanne Show' and 'The Sopranos,' will follow an Alabama farmer who combats drug gangs and foreign threats while engaging in petty crime and drug cultivation.
Barr has stated that the series will feature offensive humor, swearing, and themes reflecting her political beliefs, including critiques of Hollywood's disconnect from working-class Americans.
The planned series draws inspiration from Barr's own life on a Hawaiian farm and includes a family dynamic similar to her previous hit show, 'Roseanne.'
Barr, who was fired by ABC in 2018 over a controversial tweet, has criticized Hollywood's reluctance to embrace content appealing to conservative audiences.
