As per Comicbook, the series is bringing back the OG cast from Roseanne. Earlier it was revealed that The Conners is bidding adieu to Michael Fishman before it enters Season 5. This ends his stint as DJ Conner which started with Roseanne in 1988.

During the conversation, Helford teased, “I can’t reveal it, but there is someone coming from years’ past. It was a very memorable appearance when this person was there, and this person is coming back.”
“I think people are going to be very surprised and go, ‘Oh s**!’ It’s someone who will very much be remembered from the previous show,” he further explained.
Caplan also chimed in explaining the new character as he said, “one that the true fans are really going to appreciate.”

This has made the introduction of the new character even more mysterious for the fans. Roseanne had a good 10-year run during the 80s & 90s. The series lasted for 200+ episodes introducing several characters that went on to become popular among fans. Trying to narrow down who would be a part of the sequel is very difficult.
Fishman Thanks Fans For Their Love & Gratitude
Fishman’s exit news last month took fans by surprise. The actor even released a statement confirming his exit & expressing his gratitude for the love he received over the past four seasons of The Conners. In his statement, Fishman mentioned, “It has been my honor to play D.J. Conner. It’s every actors dream to be a series regular, especially on a groundbreaking show, where we tackle significant topics. The opportunity to do comedy & drama alongside iconic castmates, while reaching fans in meaningful ways has profoundly impacted my life.”
