The brand-new promo for The Conners season 6 marks the return of Sean Austin to the popular sitcom. Austin appeared on the most-watched show for the first time in season 5. However, the actor only made a guest appearance as a character named Tyler, who is a FedEx pilot.

In April 2023, he was introduced initially to the audience, and in the show, he played the role of a love interest for Becky Conner, played by Lecy Goranson. Tyler was introduced in the storyline after the death of Becky’s husband, Mark.

Since season 5, the character has been established as a love interest for Becky. Fans were anticipating Austin’s return as season 5 concluded, and given the latest promo, he is back as Tyler.

Talking about Sean Austin’s return to The Conners, executive producer Bruce Helford told media portal TVLine:

“Whenever we bring in a new love interest, we’ve got to watch the chemistry, because we never know [if it will work]. But we love Sean, and they were great together, so we definitely want to bring them back together and see what we can find there.”

Revealing more about Tyler’s fate in the upcoming season, the trailer shows Dan Conner, played by John Goodman, referring to him as a “new boyfriend” of Becky while playing the game of poker.

Tyler responds to Dan by saying:

“I’m gonna take all your money, and your daughter.”

Besides Tyler, the trailer also shows Dan talking to Darlene Conner, played by Sara Gilbert. While standing in the living room, Darlene says, “I’m scared, Daddy”. While offering a few details about the characters, the short promo ends.
