Netflix Cancels That '90s Show After Two Seasons

In a surprising turn of events, Netflix has decided to cancel 'That '90s Show' after just two seasons. This series, which served as a sequel to the beloved 'That '70s Show,' had garnered a dedicated fan base since its debut. The news was shared by Kurtwood Smith, who famously portrayed Red Forman in the original series. He took to social media to express his gratitude towards the fans and to announce the unfortunate news.

Smith began his message with, "I know you have been asking me when Season 3 is coming, but I have tough news…Netflix will not be renewing." His heartfelt message resonated with many, as he thanked the viewers for their unwavering support. He stated, "You have come up to me in random parts of the world when I’m traveling and reached out to me through social media and just been so wonderful. I’ve loved every minute of getting to bring Grandpa Red to life for you all.”

The 81-year-old actor continued to reflect on the show's journey, emphasizing the passion and dedication that went into its production. He remarked, "I’ve said it before, but it’s worth mentioning again… this show had so much heart behind it and the most wonderful cast, writers, directors, producers, and crew an actor could hope to work with.” His words highlight the collaborative effort that made the show special for its audience.

Smith also expressed his appreciation for the characters and the stories that were shared over the two seasons. He noted, "Thanks for letting Red and Kitty, their grandkid, all their grandkids' friends and neighbors, the original cast members of That '70s Show, and all of our wonderful guest cast members entertain you for two seasons." This sentiment reflects the strong connection that fans have developed with the characters throughout the series.

In a final note, Kurtwood Smith humorously quoted his character, saying, "To steal Red Forman’s words…we aren’t going to be dumbasses…we will shop the show because good grandparents would try hard to get these kids graduated from high school." This statement not only showcases his commitment to the show but also hints at the possibility of the series finding a new home on another streaming platform.

The cancellation of 'That '90s Show' serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of television. While fans may be disappointed, it is essential to recognize the impact that the show had during its run. The heartfelt performances and nostalgic connections to the original series will remain cherished memories for many.
