That ’90s Show has been cancelled.
Series star Kurtwood Smith, who plays Red Forman, announced the news today Friday that Netflix will no longer be moving forward with the show’s anticipated third season.
He revealed the saddening news to fans via an Instagram post.
“I know you have been asking me when season 3 is coming, but I have tough news… Netflix will not be renewing,” Smith began to write in his post.
“I just want to take a minute to say THANK YOU to all of the fans everywhere who supported and watched the show,” he added.
“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.”
“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.”
“Thanks for letting Red and Kitty, their grandkid, all their grandkids friends and neighbors, the original cast members of That 70’s Show and all of our wonderful guest cast members entertain you for two seasons.”
Despite Netflix axing the show from their catalogue of productions, Smith confirmed that the team behind That ’90s Show will be shopping its third season to another streamer/network.
“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,” he concluded in his post.
The show, a spinoff to That ’70s Show, is set 15 years after its predecessor and featured various stars from the original series such as Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis.
