The series “That ’90s Show”, the sequel to the popular “That ’70s Show”, has been canceled by Netflix after only two seasons.
Actor Kurtwood Smith, who portrayed Red Forman in both productions, announced the show’s end on his Instagram but said he plans to look for other platforms to continue the story. He thanked fans for their support and highlighted the joy of bringing the character back to life.
“I know many have been asking when the third season will be released, but I have tough news… Netflix won’t renew. I just want to take a moment to thank all the fans who supported and watched the show. […] I loved every minute of bringing Grandpa Red to life for all of you. […] To borrow Red Forman’s words… let’s not be dumb… let’s buy the show, because good grandparents would do anything to make sure these kids graduated from school.”
Fans were heartbroken by the news, expressing hope that another network or streaming service would save the show.
The series premiered in January 2023, with a second season split into two parts, but low viewership during the initial weeks contributed to the cancellation.
“That ’90s Show” followed Leia Forman, daughter of Eric and Donna, characters from the original series, during the summer of 1995 with her grandparents Red and Kitty. While the show featured a nostalgic cast and appearances from stars of the original production, such as Topher Grace and Laura Prepon, it failed to replicate the success of “That ’70s Show,” which aired from 1998 to 2006.
