That '90s Show will return to Netflix for season 2. The series is a sequel to the hit sitcom That '70s Show, which ran for 8 seasons on Fox between 1998 and 2006. That '90s Show follows Leia Forman (Callie Haverda), the daughter of Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon) from the original series, as she visits her grandparents (Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith, likewise reprising their roles) for the summer in 1995.
Today, Netflix took to Twitter to announce that That '90s Show would be returning for season 2.
This news comes just two weeks after the show premiered on January 19. That '90s Show season 1 has already done well for the streaming platform, premiering at No. 5 on their weekly chart of the most-streamed English-language series and climbing to No. 4 the following week. It has also been revealed that That 90s Show season 2 will have 16 episodes, 6 more than the first season.
Other 70s Show Characters Who Can Return In 90s Show Season 2
That '90s Show has already featured the return of many iconic That '70s Show performers reprising their roles. This includes Grace, Prepon, Rupp, Smith, Ashton Kutcher as Michael Kelso, and Wilmer Valderrama as Fez. Original recurring characters who have made guest appearances also include Tommy Chong as Leo Chingkwake, Don Stark as Bob Pinciotti, and Jim Rash as Fenton.
However, there are still quite a few prominent characters left out who could appear in That 90s Show season 2. The one major exception from the main cast is Danny Masterson as Steven Hyde, who has not appeared in the series as the actor is on trial after being accused of sexual assault. The remaining major cast members who could very well make a future appearance include Josh Meyers as Hyde's former record store employee Randy Pearson, and Christina Moore as Eric's older sister Laurie.
That 90s Show Set Up Several Interesting Plot Points For Season 2
That '90s Show season 1 ended with Leia preparing to return home for the beginning of the school year, leaving behind a rift with her friends. They have all sided with her now ex-boyfriend Jay (Mace Coronel) because she's leaving town, so if season 2 picks up the next summer the group will have to repair some bridges in order for things to go back to normal. The show has also set up an intriguing romantic storyline between Fez and single mother Sherri Runck (Andrea Anders) that could deepen as the series progresses.
