According to a Dec. 18 report by Pop Culture, Christopher Lloyd will be playing a brand new character, who will be the boyfriend of Roseanne and Jackie’s mother, Beverly, whom she met in the nursing home where she lives. As previously reported by the Inquisitr, actress Estelle Parsons is returning to reprise her role as Bev Harris, the now 90-year-old mother of Roseanne, who has a knack for driving Dan Connor crazy.
Just days after Estelle Parsons return for the Roseanne revival was announced, her character’s storyline was also revealed.

The 79-year-old actor has become beloved by movie and television fans alike, and will likely bring some wacky humor to the Roseanne revival.
In addition to Christopher Lloyd’s casting, the Roseanne revival will also welcome back actor James Pickens Jr, who played the role of Chuck, Adilah Barnes will reprise her role as Anne Marie, Natalie West will be back as Crystal, Sandra Bernhard will return as Nancy, and Johnny Galecki will be playing David again, along with the return of all of the original cast members, to give fans some major nostalgia from the original series.
