They did set up a story thread in the last season that could explain this.

As someone who absolutely loved the original show, and never saw the new season, this isn't that appaling, seeing as
the original show was all a dream anyway.

I hope they play the world's smallest violin at her funeral in the show.

Is this the only show where both main characters were killed off and the show went on?

Glad she is gone from the show. Glad about the way they went about it.

Also glad they are making a tv show about poor white people.

We have missed that story in tv and at the movies. It used to be shown a little too often and now it is not being shown at all.

that's such a strange ghost for a show to hang under

I wonder if they will make self-aware/meta jokes about it or play it straight.

She'll wipe her eyes with the paycheck she got for the IP rights.
This really didn't bother me very much, she's already worth quite a lot, and if it ensures the rest of the cast and crew, some who haven't worked in acting in sometime, can continue on with a hopefully lucrative and successful show, and I think that's worthwhile. The show is ultimately, even the new run, a somewhat progressive voice that targets middle America (though with the occasional poor episode or flubbed message). It is not a conservative show, despite how some people view it, and I think a show like this may be important in the current climate.

It's also entirely likely she was low balled, as if she didn't accept this offer she'd be screwing over her former colleagues yet again.

They should really lean into it like,"Roseanne died because she couldn't afford the astronomical costs of health care after being shot by a white supremacist. Oh and she converted to Islam before she died and became a Vegan."

A show that was ressurected from an ending where the husband died to not have happened now has a spinoff with the wife dead. That's some grade A Irony.
