Some Netflix viewers have expressed their discontent after learning of the cancellation of a major series after only two seasons.
Despite an appealing cliffhanger at the end of the second season, Netflix decided to end it That ’90s Show. It is the sequel to a popular sitcom in the United States, That ’70s Show, offered from 1998 to 2006 on Fox. She featured the tribulations of Eric Forman (Topher Grace), Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon), Michael (Ashton Kutcher) and the rest of their gang against a backdrop of kitsch culture in the 1970s in the United States. Two decades later, That ’90s Show, took over on Netflix in 2023 with Leia Forman (Callie Hope Haverda), the daughter of Eric and Donna. The teenager visits her grandparents, Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) and Red (Kurtwood Smith), in the summer of 1995. She then creates friendships at Point Place under the watchful eye of her ancestors, all in a comical atmosphere. The series has become very popular across the Atlantic, but not at all in France. Not renewed for a third salvo, That ’90s Show is the 12th original series canceled by the streaming platform in 2024 like The Brothers Sun.
The intrigues of That ’90s Show on hold on Netflix due to cancellation
In the second season, broadcast in two parts, in June and then in August 2024, Leia’s future is dotted as she decides to stay and live with her grandparents in order to start the school year. His mother, Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon), doesn’t see it that way. This leads to a mother-daughter confrontation before the end of the episode Aren’t we going to get angry? There are hints that Donna might reverse her decision and let Leia stay. The site The digital ones explains the predictable reasons for this cancellation in relation to the audiences for the second season of That ’90s Show : “It only recorded 1.7 million views in 4 days, an 83% drop in its audience and one of the most resounding failures for a program of this ilk. Unsurprisingly, Netflix has therefore decided to stop the fees.”
The anger of Internet users after the cancellation of That ’90s Show
Other question marks persist in the absence of a new burst of episodes. Leia and Jay Kelso’s (Mace Coronel) relationship remains unclear after the latter lied about stealing Kitty’s keys in order to throw a party on the school roof. These unresolved intrigues caused discontent on Twitter as revealed by the media The Mirror : “But what the hell is that! No, at least give the series a proper ending, please!“Another Internet user did not hide his disappointment:”Well, that sucks! I loved this show, fingers crossed that someone picks it up and we get a season 3. You can’t leave us stranded like that!“
