Roseanne Barr Has A Wild New TV Show About A Farmer Who’s ‘Saving’ America, And She's Comparing It To 'The Sopranos'

Back in 2018, Roseanne Barr was fired from the revival of her self-titled series following racist posts on social media. "The Conners" would go on to success without her, and we haven’t heard a great deal from her since then, at least as far as her professional career is concerned. It appears that’s because she’s been working on her comeback. It turns out Barr has been working on a new show and she’s about ready to start shopping it.

In what has to be said is one of the strangest elevator pitches for a show in recent memory, Barr tells Variety that the show, a creation of herself and former Roseanne producer Allan Stephan, will focus on her character, a farmer who is “saving the United States from drug gangs and China.” She also compares the show to "The Sopranos" and also Coen Brothers movies.
