Get ready to revisit the world of That ’70s Show. Netflix has ordered a sequel to the popular FOX sitcom called That ’90s Show and Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp, the parents from the original series, are set to return. That ’70s Show creators Bonnie and Terry Turner are also on board. It is not yet known if any others from the original cast will return for the sequel.
Netflix revealed the following about the 10-episode season in a press release.
“Hello, Wisconsin! It’s 1995 and Leia Forman, daughter of Eric and Donna, is visiting her grandparents for the summer where she bonds with a new generation of Point Place kids under the watchful eye of Kitty and the stern glare of Red. Sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll never dies, it just changes clothes.”
A premiere date and additional casting for the sequel will be announced at a later time.
What do you think? Are you excited for the That ’90s Show on Netflix? Do you want to see others from the original show’s cast return?
I’m not a huge That 70s Show fan like that. I like it alright. But anyway, this just seems unnecessary. Debra and Kurtwoord back as Red and Kitty is nice but they need to buck the nostalgia chasing trend now. It’s tired.
Odd plan. Maybe they’re going for a “Golden Girls” flavor? Debra is 70 and Kurt 78.
Meh. They will do like Netflix did. And the show will be 2021 set in 1995. No thank you.
