The Conners will finally return to primetime as part of the 2024 TV premiere schedule, and the first trailer for the upcoming sixth season confirmed the return of none other than Sean Astin. One member of the cast won't be back in the new batch of episodes, as an actor has been cut as a series regular. While that may be a bummer for fans who enjoy seeing as many Conners as possible involved in the shenanigans, the departure makes enough sense that it was arguably a long time coming. Jayden Rey will not return as a regular for Season 6.
Jayden Rey debuted in her role as Mary Conner back in 2018 as part of the Roseanne revival, and she was brought back when The Conners premiered to replace Roseanne following its unceremonious cancellation. While Mary was originally involved in the family shenanigans on a regular basis due to her dad D.J. agreeing to let her move in with his sisters when he was too busy to spend much time with her and her mom Geena was overseas. Now, Deadline confirms that Rey is out as a series regular, but guest appearances in the sixth season are possible.
