On the heels of Roseanne being canceled by ABC after Roseanne Barr’s comments this past week, ABC has made another move and is suspending its FYC campaign on behalf of the show. The report which was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter was made evident as talent from the show will not participate in a daylong event promoting talent from several ABC Entertainment/ABC Studios programs to TV Academy members on the Disney lot.
The network had previously announced that Roseanne would be showcased with a screening and panel featuring castmembers. The network will not look to find a new shot to take Roseanne‘s spot as the show was also removed from ABC’s press website Tuesday morning.
