That '90s Show Is Set To Deliver More Nostalgia As It's Renewed For S2
Hello Wisconsin! The sequel to That '70s Show confirmed to return for a second installment, and we've gathered everything we have on it so far.
The original and quite a cult series, That '70s Show, aired from 1998-2006, making a return to '90 in the sequel a bit meta.
The Netflix- based revival show picks up 15 years after the OG series ended, finding Eric and Donna's daughter Leia (Callie Haverda) at her grandparents' house in Point Place, Wisconsin in the Summer of '95, where she finds new friends and we in turn see some familiar faces.
For the moment the information on new season is scarce, although everything indicates that the show will pick up a year after we last saw the new Point Place gang, since Season 1 took place in the summer of 1995.
As if often goes, we are not aware of the possible premiere date of the new installment yet. In all possibility Season 2 might not premiere until sometime in 2024.
Fans hope though that the wait will be worth the while, as a boost in episode number is expected (Season 2 will consist of 16 episodes, as opposed to 10 ep's of Season 1).
When it comes to sitcoms, and moreover revivals of cult comedies, short seasons might be a tad disappointing. Season 2 in this case will remedy that.
The end of Season 1 had Leia left in an awkward emotional position, so it will be very fascinating to find out what comes of all of it when she returns to spend another Summer with her grandparents in 1996.
As we expect all the new core characters to return in Season 2, the real nostalgia lies not only in '90s setting, but in those faces we thought we'd never see.
We knew from the start we'd see iconic Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith star as Kitty and Red Forman again, but it didn't make the whole thing less surreal when Eric, Donna, Michael, Jackie, and Fez popped up to make guest appearances.
Fans will see what the future holds for the beloved characters. Or, rather, what the past does.
