Netflix has released the first teaser for the much-anticipated spin-off That '90s Show to the delight of the original That '70s Show fans. Like the original sitcom, the spin-off features a lot of mischief from Leia Forman and her new acquaintance next door while on a visit with Donna to grandparents Red, played by Kurtwood Smith, and Kitty, played by Debra Jo Rupp, for the summer. Netflix announced in October 2021 that the sequel series was in the works, but before then, a previous spin-off, That '80s Show, was released and lasted for a short time after the original ended after its eight-season run. Rupp, Smith, Grace, Prepon, Jackie, Michael, and Fez will be reprising their roles in the new spin-off.

With Kitty's permission, Leia and her friends head down to the basement. "OK, kids. The basement is all yours," Kitty says. More On 'That '90s Show' While Kitty met the rowdy twins with a bit more sweetness, Red was quite stern about their presence in the house. Grandpa Red tells them to have the "lights on, shorts on and no dancing," however, they do quite the opposite— partying and kissing with party cups in each hand. Red is not pleased and warns Leia, "If they go in my room my foot goes in their ass." The group of friends ends up getting kicked out, with Red ordering them to "get out" and Kitty telling them not to "be a stranger" while gifting them baked goods. Instagram Some of the original cast will make a comeback, and they look forward to entertaining us as much as we anticipate. "It was super nostalgic and really odd. Going back into the basement– just going back into the set was weird," Ashton Kutcher told Entertainment Tonight. "And then being around everyone, it's just bizarre."
