Roseanne Signs Deal With NBC, Will Develop New Comedy

Well, now that upcoming three-episode arc on The Office makes a bit more sense. THR reports that Roseanne Barr will reteam with Roseanne’s Nuts producer Steven Greener on a comedy series for NBC as part of her new development deal with Universal Television. If you remember, just last year the network passed on the pilot for her comedy Downwardly Mobile — a show in which she played the owner of a mobile home park alongside former TV hubby John Goodman — so it will be interesting to see what she comes up with next.
