Netflix has released a teaser trailer for its highly anticipated That ’70s Show follow-up series That ’90s Show. The footage shows that the series will embrace iconic elements from the ‘90s including grunge music, flannel shirts, and getting high, which obviously wasn’t just a ‘90s thing.
The footage also introduces us to a new group of young teen friends, who will be spending a lot of time in the basement of Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) and Red’s (Kurtwood Smith) house. It was also announced that the series will premiere on January 19, 2023.
In the new series, “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.”
That ’90s Show was originally planned as a limited series, but the producers explain how any future seasons would all take place during the summer, which would allow for the main characters to reunite in the small Wisconsin town.
Bonnie Turner recently shared, “They physically change, they emotionally change, their lives have changed, their goals have changed. It just was great story fodder.”
Terry Turner added, “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. It was more interesting in the basement… also, people change where they go away. They come back nine months later and when they’re teenagers, sometimes there’s a radical change, sometimes not. But sometimes people have decided to go a completely different path.”
Watch the trailer and let us know if you’re looking forward to this show!
