Netflix has ordered That 90s Show, a spinoff of the hit Fox sitcom That 70s Show, Variety has learned. Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp, who played parents Red and Kitty Forman in the original series, are set to return in That 90s Show. Netflix has ordered 10 episodes of the show, which will be a multi-cam sitcom like the original. In the new series, its 1995 and Leia Forman, daughter of Eric and Donna, is visiting her grandparents for the summer where she bonds with a new generation of Point Place, WI, kids under the watchful eye of Kitty and the stern glare of Red. Original series creators Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner and their daughter Lindsey Turner are onboard as writers and executive producers, with That 70s Show alum Gregg Mettler also writing in addition to serving as executive producer and showrunner. Smith and Rupp will executive produce in addition to starring. Marcy Carsey and Tom Werner of The Carsey-Werner Company, who executive produced the original show, will also executive produce the followup.

This is not the first time a number of That 70s Show stars have found themselves together at Netflix. Masterson and Kutcher would later go on to star in the Netflix comedy series The Ranch. Rupp, Smith, and Valderrama all made appearances on the series during its run.

What about doing a That 80s Show? Surely they wouldn't fuck that up, right?
they tried, and it did indeed suck.

1995 was almost 30 years ago

About the same time frame of that 70s show when it first came out

IIRC it's been longer between now and 1995 than it was between the time of That 70's Show and it's original air date

He'll probably show up every once in awhile. His character was only good because it played off the others anyway so no big loss

They should do a role reversal and have Kitty be the stern one and Red be more of a softie. I only say that because its Erics daughter and Red was always soft on Laurie while Kitty was tough on her. I would think Red would be the same way towards his granddaughter.

That is actually brilliant and would give a fun twist on the dynamic!

The problem with that 80's show, instead of it just being a period show set in the 70's, it was a tryhard "shove the references in their face while screaming "DO YOU REMEMBER, DO YOU GET IT!?!?" show. It was obnoxious.
