Roseanne Special to Air on ABC in February; Katherine Heigl Joins USA Network Series
As ABC's hit show Roseanne gears up to return to television this spring, the entire cast reveals behind-the-scenes moments, memories, and what to expect from the revival of one of TV's most iconic sitcoms in a special edition of 20/20. Returning actors Roseanne Barr, John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Lecy Goranson, Michael Fishman and Sarah Chalke discuss the show's legacy and share what life was like starring on the No. 1 show. Roseanne: The Return airs on a special edition of 20/20, Thursday, Feb. 15 from 10:00-11:00 p.m. EST, on ABC. The special interviews Roseanne executive producers Whitney Cummings and Bruce Helford; actress Patricia Heaton, star of The Middle, known as the modern day Roseanne; and The Middle creators and executive producers Eileen Heisler and DeAnn Heline, who began their careers as writers for Roseanne. The hour also highlights the guest stars who were on the show before they became famous including George Clooney, Ellen DeGeneres and Leonardo DiCaprio. ABC's revival season will premiere on Tuesday, March 27 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT), and feature the full original cast.
Katherine Heigl (Grey's Anatomy) has been cast in a new series regular role for Season 8 of USA Network's Suits. Set to premiere later this year, Heigl will star opposite Gabriel Macht (Harvey Specter) as Samantha Wheeler - a talented new partner at Pearson Specter Litt who challenges the status quo and will either become the firm's greatest ally ... or most powerful enemy. Heigl joins the Suits ensemble alongside Macht, Sarah Rafferty (Donna Paulsen), Rick Hoffman (Louis Litt) and new series regular Dulé Hill (Alex Williams). Season 8 begins production this April in Toronto.
