Over the past few decades, the TV industry has seen its fair share of spinoff series. Better Call Saul, Frasier, and Young Sheldon are just a few to name. More recently, That ’90s Show has joined the ranks of shows born from other shows.
Although That ’90s Show has a lot of similarities with its predecessor, That ’70s Show, there are also some differences.

Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith reprise their roles as Kitty and Red Forman in the Netflix series That ’90s Show. But according to the Kitty Forman actor, the That ’70s Show spinoff would’ve happened regardless of her and Smith’s involvement. Find out why.
Kurtwood Smith as Red Forman, Topher Grace as Eric Forman, Debra Jo Rupp as Kitty Forman | Netflix ‘That ’90s Show’ cast features several ‘That ’70s Show’ stars
That ’90s Show would have felt inauthentic without the return of the original cast. The Netflix series puts Red and Kitty at the forefront, but plenty of other That ’70s Show characters make their return.
Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Wilmer Valderrama, Topher Grace, and Laura Prepon all reprise their roles in That ’90s Show. The spinoff also features appearances by Tommy Chong, Don Stark, and Jim Rash as Fenton.

Plot: 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 die; it changes clothes.
Review: One of Fox’s most popular sitcoms, That ’70s Show, ran for eight seasons and 200 episodes in the early 2000s. The series’ distinct sense of humor, famous main cast, and retro references made it a hit when it premiered in 1998 and made stars out of Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Wilmer Valderamma, Ashton Kutcher, and Mila Kunis. Almost two decades after it went off the air, Netflix had revived the series for another retro look back, this time set just three years before the original series premiered.

(Welcome to ...And More, our no-frills, zero B.S. guide to when and where you can watch upcoming movies and shows, and everything else you could possibly stand to know.)
It's been more than 15 years since "That '70s Show" went off the air, but fans of the groovy throwback sitcom have never stopped loving it. From the basement "circle" where the core cast of teens kicked back and smoked weed, to the water tower where Kelso (Ashton Kutcher) repeatedly fell, to the driveway of the Formans' home where Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon) shared a decade's worth of awkward and romantic moments, Point Place, Wisconsin is a sitcom town that's never really left fans' hearts.
Luckily, we can go back. The series' original creators are returning to Point Place with "That '90s Show," a sequel series that follows a new generation of teenager nerds and ne'er-do-wells as they get stoned,...

"That '90s Show" hasn't even premiered yet, but the writers reportedly already have a plan for future seasons in the event that the Netflix show gets renewed. "That '70s Show" creators Bonnie and Terry Turner spoke to Variety about the new sequel series they're co-creating alongside Gregg Mettler and Lindsay Turner, and revealed that the entire show is meant to take place during a very specific time in its teen friend group's lives: summer vacation.
"Setting it only during the summer gets the whole school and having-to-go-to-class thing out of the way, which we discovered on the original show, that wasn't where it was interesting," Terry Turner explains. "It's more interesting in the basement." Assuming it continues beyond its first season, the new series will incorporate time jumps between each season, as Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna's (Laura Prepon) daughter Leia (Callie Haverda) visits her grandparents Red (Kurtwood Smith) and...
