Netflix viewers fume 'what the hell!' as iconic comedy cancelled after just two seasons

Netflix viewers have been let down by the streaming service yet again as another well-regarded series has been cancelled after just two seasons.

To make matters worse, this sequel to a beloved 1990s sitcom concluded its latest instalment with a gripping cliffhanger and too many loose threads to count.

The sequel to the wildly popular That 70s Show starring Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, a third season of That 90s Show won’t be happening any time soon.

Starring returning cast members Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith as Kitty and Red Forman, the series follows their granddaughter Leia (played by Callie Haverda), who makes new friends after staying with her grandparents during the summer of 1995.

Released in two parts in June and August 2024, season two left Leia’s future uncertain after she decided to stay with Kitty and Red in Point Place for the school year.

However, her mother Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon) clashed with Kitty about the decision and the season finale concludes with hints that she could take back her decision to let Leia stay.

Meanwhile, Leia’s relationship with Jay Kelso (Mace Coronel) was also left on shaky ground after Jay lied about stealing Kitty’s keys to throw a party on the roof of the school, suggesting there may have been a breakup planned in the now cancelled Part Four.

Fans of That 90s Show have now vented their disappointment on social media, especially in the wake of so many unresolved storylines.

“What the hell?!!!” one viewer fumed on X (formerly ). “Noooooo, at least give the series a proper ending please!”

Another exclaimed: “Well this sucks! I loved this show, fingers crossed someone picks it up and we get season 3. You can't leave us on a cliffhanger like that!”

“WTF @ — why do you keep canceling awesome shows?” someone else asked.

“Imagine if every show was canceled after two seasons just because it's not getting the numbers you expect. Give a show a chance, especially this one!”

Over on Reddit, many fans felt the series had just started to come into its own with Part Three after a rocky start.

“I'm actually kind of disappointed,” one fan said. “Part 2 was weak but Part 3 was their best and it felt like they'd finally found their footing.

“Just another reason why the whole 10 episodes (max) a season for a sitcom does not work at all.”

Although, some thought the decision may have been for the best, with one user arguing: “The nostalgia wore off after like 2 episodes. It just wasn't as funny. The cast also lacked the original's chemistry.”

A third season could find a new home on another streaming service if fan demand is high enough but, for now, Leia’s future in Point Place will remain a mystery.

That 90s Show is available to stream on Netflix.
