‘That ’90s Show’ Season 2: A New Chapter in Teen Sitcom Legacy
Netflix's "That '90s Show," the much-anticipated sequel to the iconic "That '70s Show," has been creating waves of nostalgia and excitement among fans.
After a successful debut in January 2023, the series is gearing up for its second season, despite facing delays due to industry strikes. Here’s a detailed look at what to expect from Season 2 of “That ’90s Show.”
Set in the summer of 1995, “That ’90s Show” brings back the charm and quirks of the ’90s, continuing the legacy of its predecessor. It features familiar characters and locations, offering a blend of nostalgia and fresh teen drama. The show’s renewal for a second season in February 2023 was a testament to its initial success and fan appeal.
Originally slated for filming between May and September 2023, Season 2 faced setbacks due to the 2023 Writers Guild of America (WGA) and Screen Actors Guild‐American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strikes. Despite these challenges, filming commenced in December 2023. The delays have shifted the expected release of Season 2 to sometime in 2024, with Netflix possibly splitting the season into two parts.
The upcoming season is poised to delve deeper into the teenage dilemmas of Leia, the central character, as she navigates between romantic interests Nate and Jay. The storyline will continue to revolve around the themes of friendships, romantic entanglements, and the quintessential basement hangouts, reminiscent of “That ’70s Show.” Fans can expect a mix of drama, comedy, and the typical challenges of teen life.
Season 1 saw Leia forming close bonds with her neighbors, particularly the rebellious Gwen, and starting a romance with Jay, the son of Jackie and Kelso from the original series. The season ended with Leia’s relationships in a cliffhanger, setting the stage for intriguing developments in Season 2. The main cast, including Debra Jo Rupp (Kitty), Kurtwood Smith (Red), and Callie Haverda (Leia), is expected to return, along with other notable characters from “That ’70s Show.”
In Season 2 of “That ’90s Show,” the main cast is set to return, featuring Debra Jo Rupp as the ever-loving Kitty Forman and Kurtwood Smith as the stern yet endearing Red Forman. Callie Haverda will continue her role as Leia Forman, the central character. Joining them are fan favorites Ashley Aufderheide, Mace Coronel, Reyn Doi, and Sam Morelos. Additionally, the season might welcome back characters from “That ’70s Show,” with possible appearances by Wilmer Valderrama (Fez), Ashton Kutcher (Michael Kelso), and Mila Kunis (Jackie Burkhart), adding an exciting touch of nostalgia for fans.
