By That ’90s Show
Netflix has cancelled “That ’90s Show” after two seasons, the news coming less than two months after the release of what are now the last episodes. Kurtwood Smith, who broke the news in a post, says: “I’ve loved every minute of getting to bring Grandpa Red to life for you all.”
The follow-up to “That ’70s Show” centered on a new generation of Point Place basement dwellers, and brought back (almost) every major character from the original show. Twenty-six episodes in all were produced. [Source: Instagram]
