The upcoming Roseanne revival is on the way and with that comes meeting David and Darlene’s teenage daughter.
Shameless star Emma Kenney has been cast to join the eight-episode reboot as a series regular. Kenney, who has played Debbie Gallagher on all eight seasons of Showtime’s Shameless will take on the role of Harris, Darlene (Sara Gilbert) and David’s (Johnny Galecki) daughter.
Harris was first introduced in season nine, when Darlene delivered prematurely. In the revival, Harris is a recent transplant from Chicago to Lanford, Ill., and not necessarily happy about it. She is determined to do better than her parents and grandparents. Her choices from clothes to friends should represent her drive to move up the ladder.
Kenney becomes the second new castmember to join ABC’s Roseanne revival. The series, which will debut midseason in 2018, will also introduce David and Darlene’s young son Mark and named for the former’s brother, the late Glenn Quinn.
