As a diehard fan who’s been following “The Conners” since its spin-off from the iconic “Roseanne,” I can’t help but feel a mix of emotions upon hearing that Emma Kenney, our beloved Harris Conner, might have wrapped up her time on the show. Eight years is no joke, and to see such a significant character exit the series feels like saying goodbye to an old friend.
The autumn TV lineup this year appears quite distinct from previous ones, with CBS’ shows mainly set to debut later than usual, and absent are ABC’s popular sitcoms “Abbott Elementary” and “The Conners”. While “Abbott Elementary” starts on October 9th, featuring a crossover with “It’s Always Sunny”, viewers have to be patient until the 2025 season premieres to witness the return of “The Conners” for its much-anticipated final season. However, it seems that filming may have already concluded for this series.
According to Emma Kenney’s recent post on the weekend wrap, it appears (based on my interpretation and others’) that she has completed her filming as Harris Conner. In the post, she gracefully acknowledges appreciation for a job well done, hinting at a possible farewell from the series. You can see the heartfelt message below:

If we take this as referring to the final episode of The Conners series, rather than an earlier one, it marks Kenny’s eight-year rule among the fourth generation of this chaotic TV family. This sitcom world started with the tenth season of Roseanne before moving on to its sequel. This unique distinction in character lineage or screen time is worth a joyful “Whoop-whoooop!
Indeed, Ames McNamara equally deserves recognition for his portrayal of Harris’ intelligent brother Mark during the same timeframe. However, as Kenney is the one who shared this role on social media, he’s garnering most of the attention in this discussion.
10 Roseanne Characters Who Haven’t Appeared On The Conners Yet That I’d Love To See Again
Predictably, Emma Kenney’s comment section was overflowing with affectionate messages from her friends and admirers, with a notable absence of criticism-mongers in the mix. It was also understandable that a significant number of comments originated from Shameless fans, expressing their love for her character even if not necessarily for the Conners family, yet still offering heartfelt praise.
A number of well-known figures, including Kenan Thompson from television and members of the Hilton family, appeared among the commenters too.
- Kenan Thompson: Congratulations!!!! Great run!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
- Harley Quinn Smith: congrats my love 😩😩❤️❤️❤️
- Sonia Ammar: 🩷🩷🩷!!!
- Larsen Thompson: 👏👏👏
- Conrad Hughes Hilton: Proud of you! 🎉🎉🎉❤️
- Kathy Hilton: 👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍❤️❤️
It’s clear that Emma Kenney has wrapped up her filming for The Conners, but it doesn’t mean that production on Season 7 is completely done. Other cast members might still have some final scenes left to shoot before the season concludes, and there will undoubtedly be post-production work after filming is complete. Regardless of the details, this information gives us a sense of what we can anticipate when the show comes back.
When Should Fans Expect The Conners To Return For Season 7?
Keeping the upcoming holiday seasons of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Day in view, aiming to complete filming by mid-October would provide ample time for all those involved backstage to finalize the initial episodes before 2024 comes to a close. If the showrunner Bruce Helford & Co. have planned well for the final episodes, there’s a chance that all episodes could be ready to air as early as when new shows premiere in 2025.
As an ardent admirer, I’m eagerly anticipating that the chatter about this being a significant event season implies they ventured beyond the norm by producing fewer episodes. Perhaps they adopted a traditional “The Conners visit…” theme, which could necessitate extended post-production work.
It appears highly probable that “The Conners” will kick off ABC’s initial week of midseason returns. If the network has plans to delay the new episodes until closer to the May finales, it’s not entirely uncommon, but for now, despite the bittersweet anticipation of its ending, I remain hopeful for an earlier comeback.
I’m hopeful that we’ll see more attention on Johnny Galecki’s character David, perhaps even a special appearance. However, it’s premature to discuss such matters at this point in time.
