The ’90s may have ended 24 years ago but Netflix has finally put a pin in it.
That ’90s Show, the follow-up series to That ’70s Show, has been canceled after two seasons, said franchise star Kurtwood Smith in a post on Instagram Thursday night.
“I know you have been asking me when Season 3 is coming, but I have tough news…Netflix will not be renewing,” wrote Smith, who stars as Red Forman on the show. “I just want to take a minute to say THANK YOU to all of the fans everywhere who supported and watched the show. You have come up to me in random parts of the world when I’m traveling and reached out to me through social media and just been so wonderful. I’ve loved every minute of getting to bring Grandpa Red to life for you all. I’ve said it before but it’s worth mentioning again…this show had so much heart behind it and the most wonderful cast, writers, directors, producers and crew an actor could hope to work with. Thanks for letting Red and Kitty, their grandkid, all their grandkids friends and neighbors, the original cast members of That 70’s Show and all of our wonderful guest cast members entertain you for two seasons. To steal Red Forman’s words…we aren’t going to be dumbasses…we will shop the show, because good grandparents would try hard to get these kids graduated from high school.”
In addition to Smith, That ’90s Show recruited almost all of the heavy hitters from That ’70s Show, including Debra Jo Rupp as Kitty Forman, Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti, Topher Grace as Eric Forman, Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso, Wilmer Valderrama as Fez and Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart.
That ’90s Show served as a sequel series, set two decades later, following Leia Forman, the daughter of Donna and Eric, as she spends the summer with her grandparents.
According to Variety, the show’s 10-episode first season premiered on Netflix in 2023 as Part 1 of the series. The series expanded in Season 2 to 16 episodes split across Parts 2 and 3, the latter of which wrapped up in August 2024.
