Roseanne Barr is plotting her Hollywood comeback after being canceled.
The outspoken comedian, 72, revealed she’s making a show about a family who “save America with guns, the Bible, petty crime and alcoholism.”
She also warned it will contain “very offensive ideas and a lot of swearing.”

Barr told Variety that she wrote the comedy series with “Roseanne” and “Arli$$” alum Allan Stephan, adding they are getting ready to shop the show around town.
The actress will star in the series, which will be about four to six episodes.
Barr described the comedy as “a cross between ‘The Roseanne Show’ and ‘The Sopranos,’” telling the outlet it’ll center around a small-town farmer in Alabama who is “saving the United States from drug gangs and China.”
This isn’t any average farmer, though.

Barr shared that the farmer grows and sells drugs like magic mushrooms and cannabis.
“It’s silly and out there,” she said. “[It will contain] very offensive ideas and a lot of swearing. I live with my daughter and her husband and their six children on a farm. And they have goats running through their house and stuff. It’s based on my life as a farmer in Hawaii. They save America with guns, the Bible, petty crime and alcoholism. It’s kind of like the Coen brothers thing.”
She teased that the family in her new series will have similarities to the Conners from “Roseanne.”

“There’s a scene where I have to strap myself into a corset. My granddaughter helps me, and then I go into town to flirt with all the shopkeepers that are just grotesque people,” she stated. “It’s just kind of a cartoony kind of thing.”
Barr doesn’t expect a bidding war, revealing that “if Hollywood doesn’t buy it, then I’m just gonna make it myself.”
She added: “Does anybody in [Hollywood] like America or the people who watch TV? Because the people who watch TV would really like to see a show where working-class people win against the enemies of America.”

One network she doesn’t expect to show interest in the series is ABC, who, in 2018, fired her and canceled “Roseanne” after she tweeted that Obama administration adviser Valerie Jarrett was the offspring of the “Muslim Brotherhood & Planet of the Apes.”
Barr later apologized to Jarrett and deleted her Twitter account, but the damage had already been done.
When asked if she would consider ABC if it showed interest, she replied, “F–k no.”
The Post reached out to ABC for comment.

Barr believes Donald Trump winning the presidency proves that viewers want to consume the content that Hollywood has yet to make.
“Hollywood has made itself irrelevant to the American people,” she said. “If they want to survive, they should work with the new president. American people elected him in an overwhelming victory. They should get back in touch with [them] and make some money, which I don’t know if they do or not ’cause they’ve proven to be ideologues rather than [businesspeople]. What shocks me is the fact that they prefer to lose money and then explain that to the shareholders who apparently have no problem with that.”
The MAGA supporter shared that while she’s been a loud advocate for Trump — most recently, dropping the music video “Daddy’s Home” with Canadian rapper Tom MacDonald ahead of the inauguration — Barr isn’t on the president’s speed dial.
“The Trump administration regards me as a loose cannon, which I am,” she shared. “I’m not a party line person for anyone or anything except myself. The Trump staff or whoever runs it, they’re a little afraid of me. I am a loudmouth comedian, so I understand it. But it really hurt my feelings. But what are you gonna do?”
