Goodbye, Wisconsin. 

That ‘90s Show, a That ‘70s Show spinoff that followed the complicated teenage lives of the children of the original cast, has been canceled at Netflix, Entertainment Weekly has learned. The news comes less than two months after Part 3 of the sitcom premiered on the streamer two months earlier than originally anticipated on Aug. 22.

Set in the summer of 1995, That ‘90s Show followed Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna’s (Laura Prepon) daughter Leia Forman (Callie Haverda) as she spent the summer with her grandparents Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) and Red (Kurtwood Smith) in Point Place. Along the way, she formed her very own basement crew, consisting of pals Gwen (Ashley Aufderheide), Ozzie (Reyn Doi), Nate (Maxwell Acee Donovan), and Jay Kelso (Mace Coronel), the son of Michael (Ashton Kutcher) and Jackie (Mila Kunis).

Its first season was released in January 2023, with its follow-up being split into two separate parts that made up its second season. Part 2 touched down on June 18, and Part 3 on Aug. 22.

In addition to the new cast, several That ’70s Show alums including Kutcher, Grace, Kunis, Wilmer Valderrama, Seth Green, Don Stark, and Tommy Chong made spotlight appearances throughout the series. Prepon also served as a director on both Part 1 and Part 3.

Smith, who played the ass-kicking Forman family patriarch Red on both the original and sequel, shared his thoughts on the cancelation — and his hope to find the series a new home on another platform — in an Instagram post on Thursday. 

“I’ve loved every minute of getting to bring Grandpa Red to life for you all. I’ve said it before but it’s worth mentioning again…this show had so much heart behind it and the most wonderful cast, writers, directors, producers and crew an actor could hope to work with,” he wrote. “Thanks for letting Red and Kitty, their grandkid, all their grandkids friends and neighbors, the original cast members of That 70’s Show and all of our wonderful guest cast members entertain you for two seasons.” 

Smith continued, “To steal Red Forman’s words…we aren’t going to be dumbasses…we will shop the show, because good grandparents would try hard to get these kids graduated from high school.” 

Coronel also commemorated the show on his Instagram Story on Friday alongside a picture of him and Chong. “Thankful for [sic] 90’s Show and the memories I made along the way,” he wrote. “It was a good run.”
