Roseanne Barr shoots secret comedy series with star-studded cast in huge comeback 8 years after controversial cancelation

Roseanne Barr has completed production on an eight-episode independent sitcom titled 'Meemaw' in Austin, Texas. The series, which marks her first major scripted project since being fired by Disney in 2018, features a cast including Randy Quaid, Drea de Matteo, and Omar Gooding. Barr describes the show as a semi-autobiographical family comedy about a woman from a liberal Jewish family who relocates to Texas. The production was funded by private investors and operated as a union shoot, with Barr claiming the content will satirize both ends of the political spectrum.
