AceShowbiz - "That '90s Show" will not be returning for a third season, according to star Kurtwood Smith. The actor, who reprised his role as Red Forman from the original series, announced the news on Instagram on Thursday night.
"I know you have been asking me when season 3 is coming, but I have tough news...Netflix will not be renewing," Smith wrote. He expressed his gratitude to the show's fans, who had been supportive throughout its two seasons.
The sequel series, set 15 years after the original, followed Leia Forman (Callie Haverda), the daughter of Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon) from "That '70s Show," as she spent the summer with her grandparents in Wisconsin. The cast also included Ashley Aufderheide, Mace Coronel, Maxwell Acee Donovan, Reyn Doi and Sam Morelos.
Despite the cancellation, Smith hinted that the show may not be finished yet. "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," he wrote.
"That '90s Show" also featured guest appearances from original cast members Wilmer Valderrama as Fez, Mila Kunis as Jackie Burkhart, and Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso, among others. The 10-episode first season premiered in 2023, while the 16-episode second season concluded in August 2024.
