In season five, Roseanne becomes co-owner of The Lunchbox with Leon Carp. In season nine, she turns over complete ownership to Leon after winning the lottery. Since the lottery win turns out to not have happened, it's unclear if she continued as the Lunchbox's co-owner until retirement, but it sounds like Dan and Roseanne are semi-retired when the show picks up.
In season eight, Roseanne gives birth to the Conners' fourth child, a boy named Jerry Garcia. He is not in the revival's first season, but it has been revealed that he's working on a fishing boat in Alaska.
At the 2018 TCA Winter press tour, Barr also revealed that in episode three of the revival, Dan builds her a writing room and she's pursuing her writing career again.
