Roseanne Barr is planning a comeback with a “silly and out there” series about an Alabama farmer who will “save America with guns, the Bible, petty crime, and alcoholism,” according to Variety.
Barr promised that her new show, which she wrote with Roseanne producer Allan Stephan, will have “very offensive ideas and a lot of swearing.” She also described it as “a cross between The Roseanne Show and The Sopranos,” where the protagonist saves “the United States from drug gangs and China,” and likened it a Coen brothers movie. The show will reflect the politics Barr believes Americans want to see, as evidenced by Donald Trump’s election win, she told the site.
“If [Hollywood] wants to survive, they should work with the new president,” Barr said, as the “American people elected him in an overwhelming victory. They should get back in touch with [them] and make some money.”
