It was announced that Netflix's That '90s Show had received a series order in October 2021 from the original creators of That '70s Show, Bonnie and Terry Turner. Netflix ordered 10 episodes of the '90s-themed spinoff series, with Gregg Mettler serving as showrunner.

Tommy Chong will reprise his That '70s Show role as Leo as well.

While That '90s Show will feature many familiar faces, the spinoff will also see a new ensemble cast for a new generation of teenagers. Callie Haverda stars as Leia Forman, the daughter of Eric and Donna, who will be spending the summer in Point Place, Wisconsin with her grandparents, Kitty and Red. Described as "smart like her mom, snarky like her dad," Leia is ready for a new adventure and finds it "next door to her grandparents' house in Point Place."

Netflix recently released the first official trailer for the sequel series, which also featured most of the original main cast of That '70s Show.
That '70s Show aired in 1998 and ran for eight seasons on Fox, chronicling the misadventures of a group of teenagers in the '70s in Point Place. The ensemble cast included Topher Grace as Eric Forman, Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti, Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart, Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso, Wilder Valderrama as Fez and Danny Masterson as Steven Hyde. Five of the six prominent cast members from the original sitcom will return for the sequel series for various guest appearances. Masterson, however, will not return for the series after he was ordered to stand trial for three rape charges in Los Angeles, CA.
All eight seasons of That '70s Show were available on Netflix, but they exited the streaming platform in 2020. That '90s Show premieres on Netflix on Jan. 19.
