John Goodman, known for his role as Dan Conner on the TV show "The Conners," suggests in a recent interview that the upcoming Season 6 could potentially be the last for the spinoff series.
In the interview with France 24, Goodman stated, “I think we may be coming to an end on it, I’m not sure.” He reflected on the show's unexpected longevity and added, “It’s lasted longer than I thought we would. It was just supposed to be like an eight [episode] show and out thing at one point, but they picked us up again, and they keep picking us up.”
ABC has chosen not to provide any official comments on the matter. However, according to an insider from the network who spoke with TVLine, there have been no discussions about ending the spinoff after Season 6.
During its recently concluded fifth season, "The Conners" garnered an average of 5 million viewers and a 0.7 demo rating (including Live+7 playback), showing a 6 percent increase in viewership compared to Season 4, with only a slight decline in the demo rating.
