That ‘90s Show: A group of lovable misfits from Wisconsin were introduced to the world in the late 1990s television series That ’70s Show.

Despite ending in the middle of the 2000s, the show continues to have a cult following.

The show’s follow-up, That ’90s Show, debuted its first trailer on Netflix in late 2022.

The sequel

On November 30, Netflix revealed the first That ’90s Show teaser, starring Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp as the iconic Red and Kitty Forman.

The main character of the show is their granddaughter Leia (Callie Haverda), who takes over the basement where her parents used to hang out when they were teenagers.

It goes as follows:

“It’s 1995 and Leia Forman is desperate for some adventure in her life, or at least a best friend who isn’t her dad.”

“When she arrives in Point Place to visit her grandparents, Red and Kitty, Leia finds what she’s looking for right next door when she meets the dynamic and rebellious Gwen.”

“With the help of Gwen’s friends, including her lovable brother Nate, his smart, laser-focused girlfriend Nikki, the sarcastic and insightful Ozzie, and the charming Jay, Leia realizes adventures that could happen there just like it did for her parents all those years ago.”

“Excited to reinvent herself, she convinces her parents to let her stay for the summer.”

“With a basement full of teens again, Kitty is happy the Forman house is now home for a new generation and Red is, well… Red.”

Trailer

That ’90s Show’s official trailer recently debuted.

Red reminds Kitty that feeding Leia and her pals was what “started it the first time” as she creates a shopping list for them.

Red and Kitty start talking at the kitchen island.

The former gang’s hangout spots around Point Place, where Leia meets Gwen and her friends, are also shown in the trailer.

While she is in the basement, Kitty unintentionally delivers the adolescents a bag of marijuana in an old box.

After multiple cut scenes, the audience is introduced to Wilmer Valderrama’s Fez, who now runs the Chez Fez salon.

Leo, played by Tommy Chong, is revealed to still be alive in the closing scenes, and Kelso and Jackie, portrayed by Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, appear together.

Eric and Donna (Topher Grace and Laura Prepon), who also appear in the trailer, talk about how they agree with Leia’s decision to spend the summer with Red and Kitty.

What happened to the characters after That ‘70s Show?

Eric Forman

Actor Topher Grace appeared in the finale despite departing the series at the end of the seventh season.

Even though it wasn’t apparent whether they reconciled at first, That ’90s Show makes it clear that he and Donna were married and had a daughter named Leia.

Donna Pinciotti

When the original show was about to conclude, Donna realized she was ready to start college.

She made the choice to hang around until Eric arrived.

He didn’t show up until the last possible second.

Even though it hasn’t been proven yet, Donna most likely continued with her intention to attend college and pursue her dream of being a writer.

Michael Kelso

Ashton Kutcher, who later left the show, appeared in the first episodes of season 8.

He did, however, make an appearance in the finale.

The real-life marriage of Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis may have inspired the characters’ love stories and drove them to get married, despite the fact that Kelso had a child with a different character in the show.

Jackie Burkhart

On That ’70s Show, Jackie Burkhart had romantic relationships with Kelso, Hyde, and Fez, but it wasn’t until the last season that her relationship with Fez was made public.

We’ll have to wait and see whether her and Fez’s love lasted after the end of the show.

The last time we saw Jackie, she was employed by a network television company, so it’s possible that she continued in that role long after the show had stopped.
