It looks like it's finally time to head back to TV's favorite basement. Fans watched the gang on That '70s Show for eight seasons as they navigated life as teenagers in 1970s Wisconsin. Now, it looks like Netflix is ready to share the story of a new generation of basement dwellers. The streaming service is set to release a That '70s Show spinoff series called That '90s Show in January 2023. Find out more about the upcoming spinoff and where to binge-watch the original series below.
In August 1998, the hit teen sitcom That '70s Show premiered on Fox. The 1970s period piece set in the fictional town of Point Place, Wisconsin, became an instant success. The show depicted Eric Forman (Topher Grace) and his friends Kelso (Ashton Kutcher), Hyde (Danny Masterson), Jackie (Mila Kunis), Donna (Laura Prepon), and Fez (Wilmer Valderrama) navigating their teenage years.
While the original show aired from August 1998 to May 2006, the series was set from May 1976 to December 1979. The show picked up a loyal fan base during its original run. In addition, its fan base grew throughout the 2010s as That '70s Show reruns aired on cable television. Many also watched Netflix until the show was pulled from the streaming service in late 2020.
However, Netflix couldn't stay away from the franchise for long. The streaming service is the home of the new That '70s Show spinoff series. While anxious fans wait for That '90s Show to drop on January 19, 2023, they can head to Peacock to binge the original series.
