‘That ’90s Show’ ended by Netflix, as revealed by star Kurtwood Smith on Instagram
The journey of “That ’90s Show” on Netflix has come to a close.
This series, which is a continuation of the well-loved sitcom “That ’70s Show” and helped launch the careers of stars like Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, has been canceled by Netflix, as confirmed by Kurtwood Smith, one of its stars.
In a moving post on Instagram, Smith shared the disappointing news on Thursday evening, noting that fans had been inquiring about a possible Season 3, but sadly, “Netflix will not be renewing.” However, he did offer a glimmer of hope, stating they “will shop the show, because good grandparents would try hard to get these kids graduated from high school.”
“I’ve cherished every moment of bringing Grandpa Red to all of you. I’ve mentioned this before, but it’s worth reiterating… this show had an incredible amount of heart and the most amazing team of cast, writers, directors, producers, and crew an actor could wish for,” he expressed in his message.
The original “That ’70s Show” featured characters like Eric Forman (Grace), Michael Kelso (Kutcher), Donna Pinciotti (Prepon), Fez (Valderrama), Jackie Burkhart (Kunis), and Steven Hyde (Danny Masterson).
YSL News is currently awaiting a response from Netflix representatives regarding this news.
Smith returned to play Red in this new Netflix series after originally featuring on “That ’70s Show.”
Similar to “’70s,” “’90s” explores the lives of a group of teenagers from Wisconsin engaging in various escapades while their parents are away. In this rendition, the group comprises Leia (Callie Haverda), the daughter of Donna and Eric, and Jay (Mace Coronel), the son of Michael and Jackie. The series commenced in the basement of Eric’s family home where his parents, Kitty and Red (Debra Jo Rupp and Smith, the only regular cast members returning), continue to live. Although the sequel series had its fans, it received mixed reviews from critics.
The first season made a splash with various cameos from stars of “That ’70s,” including Kutcher, Kunis, Grace, Prepon, and Valderrama. However, the original sixth member of the cast, Masterson, was not part of the show following his conviction of rape.
