Fifteen years after the series finale of That ‘70s Show, Netflix is developing That ‘90s Show, a spinoff of the hit Fox series.
Deadline reports the streaming giant has ordered 10 episodes of the series, with original creators Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner writing and executive-producing alongside their daughter Lindsey Turner. On the casting front, only Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp, who played parents Red and Kitty Forman in the original series, will reprise their roles in That ‘90s Show.
Here’s the official synopsis for the new series: “Hello, Wisconsin! It’s 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 kids under the watchful eye of Kitty and the stern glare of Red. Sex, drugs and rock ’n roll never dies, it just changes clothes.”
That ’70s Show originally aired on Fox, running for eight seasons (1998-06) and 200 episodes. In addition to Rupp and Smith, the hit sitcom helped establish the careers of Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Danny Masterson, and Wilmer Valderrama. The rest of the cast also included Don Stark, Tonya Roberts, and Tommy Chong.
