“Look, there’s no shame in that. You have a family. You work hard, and eventually, your couch becomes your big cushiony friend
that gets you.”
It seems The Conners are doing well than before but still a long road ahead. The working-class family struggles to keep up with society and also have a healthy personal life is something near to impossible. While The Conners try to achieve their impossible goal, let’s just say things are about to get Messier. The one thing show has successfully achieved is giving its audience a heartful lesson with buckets of comedy. This is what has drawn fans towards them, and now we are here wishing for the upcoming season to take place. However, we gotta announce The Conner Season 6 is not coming in 2023. Here’s what you need to know!
What happened in The Conner Season 5 finale?
The latest season’s finale has given closure to some of our characters, and our hearts swelled from it.
Spoiler alert!
When Mark invited David to his graduation party, hoping for his absentee father to change overnight. However, Bed did what David should have. We also witnessed Darlene giving a reality check to Ben about what it means to be a Father.

When Mark was expecting too much from his absent father, Darlene was the one who gave a reality check and ripped the band-aid. She has sacrificed her future to make Mark’s dream come true. Hopefully, the dynamic will change in The Conners Season 6, and they’ll stay more happy.
Why The Conners Season 6 is not coming in 2023?
Before we dive towards our main issue, let’s take a moment to appreciate the crew behind the series happening. All thanks to Matt Williams, the creator; Bruce Helford, Bruce Rasmussen, and Dave Caplan for developing the series. Now let’s begin with the main topic and rip off the band-aid to disclose The Conners Season 6 is not coming in 2023.
The cheerful news is The Conners Season 6 has been renewed in May 2023. But you all knew that, right? According to the release date pattern, the show completed its fifth season on May 3, 2023. This means The Conners Season 6 was set to release in the fall of 2023. However, that s not happening anymore. Our expectations would have come true if the obstacles hadn’t happened. By obstacles, we meant the strikes going on in the Hollywood entertainment industry. If you are unaware of the strikes, allow us to educate you all.
The WGA Strike, also known as the writers’ strike, began in May 2023. The strike was for the production houses for a consensus on compensation, including residuals and more. At the same time, the strike hasn’t found any common ground yet. Actors have taken a supportive side of the writers by announcing their strike later. The SAG-AFTRA Strike began on July 14, 2023, and has boosted the impact of the writer’s strike. The actors’ strike issues are similar to the writers, i.e., for low payment, and with the thread of A.I., both the parties need to be settled down as soon as possible since the audience is affected by it. Without their favorite series or movies getting the script or the perfect cast, we are still waiting.
Hopefully, now you all are clear why The Conners Season 6 is not coming in 2023. If the strikes get settled, there’s still a lot of time to prepare the script and start the filming. So we can’t expect The Conner Season 6 to air before 2024 since the sixth installment is going to be the series’ final season. This isn’t announced officially. However, Goodman expressed an extended timeline than expected from the show. Since we understand the risk of prolonging a series that could have had a beautiful ending, all we hope is for the sixth season to have a beautiful ending too. Until then, allow us to keep you all updated with the latest news!
