LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -- Roseanne Barr will undergo surgery next week, forcing a delay in the production of her upcoming ABC Family series "Domestic Goddess."
Doctors informed Barr, 50, earlier this week that she needed to undergo a hysterectomy, which is scheduled for Wednesday, according to Barr's assistant, Becky Pentland.
Production on ABC Family's 13-episode order of "Goddess" was under way, but staffers were told that the show would be on hiatus until further notice. An ABC Family spokeswoman said it was unclear if the show would be ready in time to meet the scheduled September 20 premiere date.
The development of "Goddess" also has been the subject of a documentary-style series now running on ABC, "The Real Roseanne Show," which has already completed production.
