Roseanne Barr Completes Independent Sitcom Meemaw

Roseanne Barr has completed production on Meemaw, an eight-episode comedy filmed in Texas with private investor funding, according to reporting about the project. Barr announced the series on October 8, 2026, and described it as a story about a Texas prepper grandmother organizing her granddaughter’s bat mitzvah. No buyer or release date has been announced in the available information. Barr stars as the family matriarch. The reported cast includes Randy Quaid as her husband and Drea de Matteo as her daughter, alongside Omar Gooding and Doug Jones. Jon Lovitz, Tony Hinchcliffe and Kim Congdon are among the guest performers. Indy Bugg, a young performer, plays Barr’s granddaughter. The plot centers on a mixed-race family of preppers and the grandmother’s effort to stage what Barr described as an especially ambitious bat mitzvah. The story also involves an attempt to take down a criminal enterprise. Barr has characterized the series as semi-autobiographical, describing a woman from a liberal East Coast Jewish family who is disinherited and starts over in Texas.
