There’s A New Gang Hotboxing the Basement In ‘That 90s Show’ Coming To Netflix In January
Hello (again), Wisconsin!
The Formans – well, at least Red and Kitty – are back in That ’90s Show, coming to Netflix in January.
The show, a sequel to That ‘70s Show, brings back alums Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp as Red and Kitty, respectively, this time as grandparents with a new crop of youngsters inhabiting the basement of their Point Place, Wisconsin home.
In addition to Red and Kitty, there are callbacks from the original series, like scenes in Eric’s room, the basement and the town water tower. The teaser calls back to many of the running jokes from the original show, including Red saying “I’ll put my foot in your ass” and a recreation of the circle scenes where the characters converse while getting high.
Though some things haven’t changed, there are new characters, including Callie Haverda as Eric and Donna’s daughter Leia, who is spending the summer with her grandparents. She makes friends with the neighbor kids, played by Ashley Aufderheide, Maxwell Donovan, Mace Coronel, Reyn Doi, Sam Morelos and Andrea Anders.
The series will have ten episodes in its first season, which will feature guest appearances by Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, and Wilmer Valderrama, who starred in the original series. The show comes from Bonnie and Terry Turner, who created the original, this time working with their daughter Lindsey Turner, along with showrunner/executive producer Gregg Mettler.
