“Roseanne” is Coming Back and We May Get a New Halloween Episode!
I am smiling from ear to ear right now. Literally. Not even kidding.
So Deadline just announced that Roseanne, like other beloved ’80s/’90s series’, is next up on the revival slate, with a planned 8-episode limited series headed our way at some point in the foreseeable future. The original cast, including Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Sara Gilbert and Laurie Metcalf will all be back, which is hugely exciting for me on a personal level. Why, you ask? Roseanne is my all-time favorite sitcom, and I can often be found riding the couch and revisiting my favorite episodes. Many of my favorites, as you might expect, are set on Halloween.
Back in September of last year I wrote an article titled Celebrating the Many “Roseanne” Halloween Specials, and I explained just how influential the show’s Halloween-themed episodes were at the time and still continue to be. Before “Roseanne” came along, shows didn’t really have Halloween specials – today, you’d be hard-pressed to find a series that doesn’t celebrate.
Eight Halloween specials aired throughout the original run of “Roseanne”; and with the show getting a revival, we can only speculate that we’ll be getting a new Conner family Halloween celebration in the process. After all, the “Roseanne” Halloween episodes continue to be the show’s most popular and fondly remembered, so why the hell wouldn’t they make a new one?!
Multiple networks including ABC and Netflix are currently bidding on the revival. Next month marks the 20th anniversary of the series finale… which will probably have to be ret-conned.
After all, Dan needs to be brought back to life.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
