The fate of ‘That ‘90s Show’ has been revealed

It’s official! Netflix has renewed ‘That ‘90s Show’ for a second season.

Since the show was released on January 19, it debuted with 41 million hours viewed, and now has a 76 percent critics score and 73 percent audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

On February 3, both Netflix and show-runner Gregg Mettler shared the exciting news on social media.

Netflix posted a video montage of the cast and their characters reacting to the news with the caption “Let’s go Wisconsin! ‘That ‘90s Show’ is returning for Season 2.”

Meanwhile, Mettler and co-creator Lindsey Turner released a statement crediting the fans for the upcoming second season.

“All of us at That ‘90s Show were beyond excited by the warm, enthusiastic response to our first season,” Mettler said. “We can’t wait to return to Point Place for another summer of laughs and surprises. Hello 1996!”

“We owe the fans, old and new, for taking the trip with us in the first season,” Turner said. “We can’t wait to be there with them in the second season.”

What is ‘That ‘90s Show’ about?

The 2023 sitcom follows Leia Forman (Callie Haverda), the teenage daughter of Eric Forman (Topher Grace) and Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon), who is forming bonds with other teenagers as she spends the summer of 1995 with her grandparents Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) in Point Place, Wisconsin, 15 years after the events of ‘That ‘70s Show.’

Who stars in ‘That ‘90s Show’?

Alongside Haverda, Grace, Prepon, Smith, and Jo Rupp, this cast includes new faces like Ashley Aufderheide, Maxwell Acee Donovan, Mace Coronel, Reyn Doi, Sam Morelos, and Andrea Anders.

The cast also includes returning characters from ‘That ‘70s Show’ such as Mila Kunis who plays Jackie Burkhart, Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso, and Wilmer Valderrama as Fez.

What was Kunis and Kutcher’s reaction to reprising their iconic roles?

Much like their relationship in real life, Kunis and Kutcher characters, who became fan favorites in the original Fox sitcom, are now married in the reboot. But the ‘Luckiest Girl Alive’ actress recently revealed she was nervous about reprising her role alongside her now husband.

“I’ve never been more nervous in my life than the day that we had to shoot that scene,” Kunis said during an interview on the Today show. “It was so weird to look at him and not be like ‘why are you doing that funny face?’”

As scared as Kunis was to step back into this world, Kutcher explained that she was set on doing it and wouldn’t let him pass the opportunity.

In an interview with Esquire, Kutcher explained that Kunis came up to him and said, “You know, we owe our entire careers to this show. It doesn’t matter what the script is, we’re doing it.’”
