“‘That ’90s Show’ part three coming at you August 22nd. That’s right. Two months earlier,” Kurtwood Smith (Red Forman) said in the video. “In the meantime, Part Two on Netflix right now. Get to watching. Really, really get to watching, dumb-ass. Oh, they’re all a bunch of dumb-asses.”
The Netflix hit and sequel series to the fan-favorite “That ’70s Show” stars Smith, Debra Jo Rupp (reprising her role as Kitty), Callie Haverda (Leia), Ashley Aufderheide (Gwen), Mace Coronel (Jay), Maxwell Acee Donovan (Nate), Reyn Doi (Ozzie) and Sam Morelos (Nikki).
“It’s 1996, and Leia Forman is back in Point Place for another summer of fun with her friends and grandparents, Kitty and Red. Leia and Jay are excited to be together again after nine months of long distance. But she’s on edge since Jay still doesn’t know she almost kissed Nate,” reads the show’s logline. “Nate is concerned that his girlfriend, Nikki, doesn’t know either. How long can they keep this secret? Turns out, not long at all. And when the truth finally comes out, relationships are threatened, friendships are at stake, and the summer is on the verge of ending before it even gets started.”
Bonnie, Terry and Lindsey Turner created the series alongside Gregg Mettler, who also serves as its showrunner.
