In 2020, an Australian streamer began offering the political comedy, and in 2021, it became one of the titles on Pluto TV, a free streaming service with advertisements.

Spin City Had A Seriously Stacked Cast

Fox departed Spin City at the conclusion of season 4 due to Parkinson's disease symptoms, resulting in his character being replaced by Charlie Sheen. Despite continuing for two additional seasons, the sitcom never quite managed to recapture the essence it had with its original lead actor. However, the show remains noteworthy for featuring a talented cast, many of whom would go on to achieve greater fame, while others were already esteemed during that time. Notable names in the Spin City ensemble included Carla Gugino, who has since collaborated frequently with Mike Flanagan, Alan Ruck, who experienced a career resurgence with his role as Connor on Succession, Michael Boatman (known for The Good Fight), Connie Britton (known for Friday Night Lights and The White Lotus), Jennifer Esposito (known for Blue Bloods and The Boys), and Heather Locklear, who gained massive success through her role in Melrose Place. Additionally, veteran actor Richard Kind, a Tony Award nominee, was also part of the cast.

Spin City co-stars Kind and Fox recently had a reunion, bringing back memories of their collaboration on the 1990s comedy. The show, which was previously difficult to find, is now available on Prime Video, potentially attracting a new audience and nostalgic viewers. Streaming platforms have shown a preference for relaxed shows with numerous episodes, and this political satire certainly fits the bill with an impressive 145 episodes to binge.
