Teaser for ‘That ’70s Show’ spinoff makes Red and Kitty Forman the stars
Red and Kitty Forman are grandparents! They’re greeted by their granddaughter in the teaser for That ’90s Show. “Welcome back to your favorite basement,” the teaser reads.
The basement Eric (Topher Grace) and his friends once hung out in is being passed down to a new generation. Naturally, Red only has a few rules: “Lights on, shirts on, and no dancing.” Insert Footloose joke here.
The teaser reveals Red and Kitty’s granddaughter and her friends will spend a lot of time in the Forman basement. They’ll also form a circle of their own, a nod to the classic scenes from the original series that alluded to the characters smoking pot.
We know some of the original stars from That ’70s Show will appear in the spinoff series, but they aren’t featured in the teaser. Instead, it seems like Kitty and Red are going to be a mainstay in That ’90s Show.
What is ‘That ’90s Show’ about?
According to Netflix, That ’90s Show takes place in 1995. “Leia Forman is desperate for some adventure in her life or at least a best friend who isn’t her dad,” the synopsis reads.
“When she arrives in Point Place to visit her grandparents, Red and Kitty, Leia finds what she’s looking for right next door when she meets the dynamic and rebellious Gwen. With the help of Gwen’s friends, including her lovable brother Nate, his smart, laser-focused girlfriend Nikki, the sarcastic and insightful Ozzie, and the charming Jay, 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.”
Who’s who in ‘That ’90s Show’
