The Latest That ‘90s Show Season 2 News
The recent updates on season 2 of That 90s Show, similar to many other shows affected by the 2023 writer's strike, mainly revolved around the delays. Although season 2 is confirmed and will consist of a generous number of episodes, fans should brace themselves for a lengthy wait. Initially planned to be in production from May to September, the WGA writers' strike has forced a hiatus, and the new date remains uncertain (via What's on Netflix). According to information provided on the website where fans can purchase tickets to the live recordings (via 1iota), the production will only be rescheduled once the WGA strike concludes.
That ‘90s Show Season 2 is Confirmed
That '90s Show season 2 has been officially renewed by Netflix just a few weeks after its premiere on the streaming platform. Typically, Netflix takes around two or three months to announce the fate of a show, whether it will be renewed or canceled. However, in the case of That '90s Show, Netflix wasted no time in giving it a vote of approval. Despite Netflix's tendency to cancel shows after just one season, That '90s Show season 2 managed to exceed expectations.
The swift renewal of That '90s Show season 2 is a clear indication of Netflix's unwavering confidence in the series. While Netflix typically takes considerable time to decide on renewing even its most popular shows, the streaming giant wasted no time in giving the green light to the second season of That '90s Show. Co-creator Gregg Mettler expressed gratitude to both the loyal fans and new viewers for embarking on the journey with them in the first season, eagerly anticipating their presence in the second season as well (via THR). Excitingly, the show will not only return but will also feature an extended run of 16 episodes instead of the original 10.
That '90s Show Season 2 Release Date
Unfortunately, no specific release date has been announced for That '90s Show season 2. However, Netflix appears to have expedited the production process, as filming was set to begin in May and the episode count was increased to 16. With filming slated to conclude in September and minimal post-production necessary for a sitcom like That '90s Show, it is likely that season 2 was intended to premiere in January 2024, precisely one year after the debut of season one.
However, due to the ongoing WGA writers' strike, That '90s Show, like numerous other series and movies, has been adversely affected. The scheduling for season 2 has been put on hold until the conclusion of the WGA writer's strike, which shows no signs of ending anytime soon. The WGA and the AMPTP are currently far from reaching a mutually satisfactory agreement. Considering that the original release date would typically be approximately seven months after the commencement of production, it is reasonable to assume that the release will be worked out accordingly once production resumes, which is expected to happen shortly after the strike comes to an end.
That ‘90s Show Season 2 Cast
The conclusion of That ‘90s Show season 1 paves the way for the return of the main teenage characters Leia Forman, Gwen Runck, Nate Runck, Jay Kelso, Nikki, and Ozzie in season 2. With Leia coming back to Point Place for the second season, it is inevitable that her grandparents Red and Kitty Forman will also make a comeback. Moreover, returning to the Forman house means that Nate and Gwen's mother Sherri will reappear as their next-door neighbor.
If Fez and Sherri are still together in the ending of That '90s Show season 1, it is highly probable that Fez, the beloved character from That '70s Show, will make a return in the upcoming season. Moreover, given that That '90s Show primarily takes place during the summer, Jackie and Kelso, who are the parents of Jay Kelso, may only have brief cameo appearances once again. However, Leia's grandpa, Bob Pinciotti, is likely to come back to Point Place for her 16th birthday party in season 2. Additionally, if the teens run out of their stash, the resident stoner, Leo (played by Tommy Chong), will undoubtedly make another appearance.
That ‘90s Show Season 2 Story Details
The second season of That '90s Show revolves around Leia's decision between Nate and Jay. Alongside their summer misadventures, new characters will be introduced, and there will be appearances from the original That '70s Show cast. Additionally, romantic interests will develop for characters like Gwen and Ozzie. Kitty and Red will continue to provide guidance to Sherri, possibly including Fez's attempt to be a father figure to Gwen and Nate. Similar to That '70s Show, the storyline of That '90s Show season 2 will mainly focus on breakups, hookups, and the basement hangouts. We can expect to learn more once the first trailer is released.
