Roseanne Barr's Secret 'Meemaw' Comedy Series Filmed in Texas

Roseanne Barr has resurfaced with a new eight-part comedy series, secretly filmed in Austin, Texas. Titled 'Meemaw,' the show centers on Barr as the matriarch of a mixed-race family of preppers in Texas. Their mission involves taking down a criminal empire and throwing an elaborate bat mitzvah for her granddaughter.

Barr, who was dropped by ABC in 2018 after a racist tweet, described the new project as "revolutionary." The series also features notable actors like Drea de Matteo and Randy Quaid, who have faced public scrutiny for their political stances. Viral sensation Indy Bugg plays Barr's granddaughter, a casting facilitated by actress Mo'Nique.

Co-written by Barr, Allan Stephan, and Allen Covert, 'Meemaw' is described as semi-autobiographical. It follows a woman from a liberal East Coast family who moves to Texas after being disinherited. Barr stated the show aims to make fun of everyone in power, including both Republicans and "woke" individuals, promising jokes for all political leanings.
