ABC’s reboot of Roseanne is back on the air after an almost decade-long hiatus. It’s changed slightly but seems to have been a smash hit for ABC. Will season 10 or more commonly known, the rebooted season, be coming to Netflix?
Not familiar with the show? Roseanne season 10 is a reboot of the old sitcom starring Roseanne Barr and John Goodman. It takes a look at life in a working-class family who are struggling to deal with the basics in life such as marriage, children, money and parents in law. Much like most other networks, including Netflix, ABC opted to bring back Rosanne and make it particularly relevant in a post-Trump era.
Is Season 1 to season 9 of Roseanne on Netflix?
In the United States and, indeed, other Netflix regions, Roseanne won’t be coming to Netflix. We explain why the show isn’t coming to Netflix below, but let’s first take a look at where it will be streaming.
For those who have cut the cord and need a streaming home for Roseanne, Hulu is the only place currently carrying the latest season. You’ll have to wait for a day or two before new seasons are added, though.
Much like season 10’s fate, Netflix doesn’t currently or plan to carry any of the older seasons of Roseanne. That’s ultimately a shame, as the show has over 240 episodes, which would make a fantastic addition.
Sadly, all nine seasons are exclusive to another provider in the United States, and like most other ABC shows, they’re often excluded from Netflix because of the parent company’s ties to other providers. That’s not to say that there’s no content from ABC on Netflix, but Roseanne is not currently included.
Although Hulu is carrying the latest season, Amazon Prime currently is the only provider of instant streaming access with a subscription. That includes all nine episodes. If it is to leave Amazon at any point, it’s likely that it’ll wind up on Hulu rather than Netflix.
What’s Similar to Roseanne on Netflix
We feel slightly bad for those with Netflix subscriptions looking for Roseanne streaming so instead we’ve picked out a few alternatives for you to enjoy instead. The Ranch is the closest Netflix Original with the shows sharing similar subject matter with a working-class family working on a ranch. Netflix also recommends Fuller House and That 70’s Show as viable alternatives to the show.
