'That 70s Show' Cast Set To Return To Netflix For A Spin-Off

Netflix has announced that its latest spinoff would be of the classic sitcom That '70s Show. This new series is set in the '90s instead-but seems to aim to keep the same format otherwise.

The best part of this news is that it will be paying homage to the original series. Reportedly, the OG cast will be returning to their roles and will be featured as guest appearances. Fans are really excited and looking forward to this reboot.

An upcoming Netflix spin-off of That '70s Show called That '90s Show is set to release soon and the team behind casting already knows what the fans really want to see.

Almost the entire original main cast will be returning to reprise their roles in guest parts.

They'll appear alongside Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp.

Other actors included in the list of casts include Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Laura Prepon, Topher Grace, and Wilmer Valderrama.

Though fans might notice one name missing from the list of cast. That would be  Danny Matterson, who played Hyde, will not be returning for this offshoot. This is due to the multiple sexual assault allegations against him that have yet to be tried. He denies all the charges, and is still scheduled to stand trial.

It is knowns by all that the show was a major hit when it was released back in those days.

The show originally ran on FOX for 10 years, from 1998 to 2006. However, the last few seasons of the show faced criticism from the fans, as Topher Grace left at the end of the seventh season and Ashton Kutcher was absent for much of the eighth, Stil, the show is regarded as a cult classic.

Apart from being famous, the show also gave a platform and made major stars out of much of its cast.

Now with a new spinoff in making, fans are hoping that That '90s Show will do the same. Set in 1995, it focuses on the main character Leia Forman, daughter of Eric and Donna, as she visits her grandparents in Point Place for the summer and makes friends with the kids there.

We are glad that Netlfix brought back the majority of its cast. 

The original co-creators of That '70s Show, Bonnie and Terry Turner, are part of the crew as executive producers and writers. Hopefully, this will help the new series align with the old one perfectly.

There's no confirmed release date as of yet, but we do know the first season will be 10 episodes long. Now, all we can do is wait and watch!
