Netflix has released the official trailer for That ’90s Show, a follow-up to hit period sitcom That ’70s Show, which ran for 8 seasons from 1998 to 2006.
We head to 1995 this time around and meet Leia Forman (Callie Haverdaa), daughter of Eric and Donna, who were played by Topher Grace and Laura Prepon in the original series. Desperate for some adventure in her life – or at least a best friend who isn’t her dad – Leia arrives in Point Place to visit her grandparents, Red and Kitty (Kurtwood Smith and
Debra Jo Rupp, respectively, reprising their roles). Leia finds what she’s looking for right next door when she meets the dynamic and rebellious Gwen (Ashley Aufderheide).
With the help of Gwen’s friends, including her lovable brother Nate (Maxwell Acee Donovan), his smart, laser-focused girlfriend Nikki (Sam Morelos), the sarcastic and insightful Ozzie (Reyn Doi), and the charming Jay (Mace Coronel), Leia realizes adventure could happen there just like it did for her parents all those years ago. Excited to reinvent herself, she convinces her parents to let her stay for the summer. With a basement full of teens again, Kitty is happy the Forman house is now a home for a new generation and Red is, well…Red.
That ’70s Show creators Bonnie and Terry Turner are again behind this one, this time working with their daughter, Lindsey Turner, and showrunner/executive producer Gregg Mettler.
The trailer has plenty of nods for fans of the first series – yes, they’re back in the basement having smokey convos – as well as the inclusion of some very special guests. Take a look below.
That ’90s Show will be streaming on Netflix from January 19th.
