How and where to watch Netflix's 'That 90s Show'? And everything else you need to know
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: When Netflix announced plans to make a 'That ’70s Show' spinoff, titled 'That ’90s Show' last year, people lost their calm. Nearly a quarter of a century after the 1998 series premiere of 'That ’70s Show,' the long-awaited trailer to its spinoff, 'That ’90s Show, is finally here. The first cast members to be announced for the spinoff were Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp, who played Red and Kitty in 'That ’70s Show.'
The period teen sitcom set during the summer of 1995, comes from the original series creators Bonnie and Terry Turner. What is even more exciting is, Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, and Wilmer Valderrama will appear in recurring roles in the new series, though it was expected that Danny Masterson would not appear due to his criminal trial. In case you don't know what happened, Danny Masterson was arrested in 2020 and charged with multiple accounts of sexual assault. Netflix basically cut all ties with Masterson back in 2017 when they fired him from The Ranch after he was accused of sexual assault.
