# That ’70s Show’s Topher Grace Jokingly Teases Another Future Spinoff
It’s been 15 years since That ’70s Show came to an end, but the show’s legacy is still going strong. Recently, Netflix announced That ‘90s Show would be getting a season 2 renewal, and Topher Grace, who shot to fame playing Eric Forman in the original sitcom, had a hilarious reaction to the news. Taking to Twitter, Grace jokingly teased another potential spinoff to come, That ’00s Show, which he expects to debut in 2038.
But That ‘90s Show isn’t the only spinoff to come out of That ‘70s Show. In 2002, Fox released the short-lived and widely forgotten That ’80s Show, a show set in San Diego 1984. While the respective characters from each of the two shows never crossed paths, the question remains whether audiences will see any other decades covered in potential ’90s Show spinoffs.
In this blog post, we’ll take a look at the news of That ‘90s Show season 2 renewal, the potential of other spinoffs, and why a prequel series focusing on Red and Kitty during their younger years could be a great idea.
## That ‘90s Show Just Officially Erased Donna’s Sisters
That ‘90s Show follows Eric Forman’s and Donna Pinciotti’s teenage daughter Leia Forman (Callie Haverda) as she spends the summer of 1995 with her grandparents, Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp). The new show has also seen several other actors from the original series return, including Laura Prepon, Ashton Kutcher, Wilmer Valderrama, Mila Kunis, Don Stark and Tommy Chong.
When Netflix announced That ‘90s Show would be getting a season 2 renewal, Topher Grace had a hilarious reaction as he took to Twitter to congratulate the cast. Poking fun at the latest spinoff, Grace said he looked forward to being reunited with everyone on another future spinoff, That 00’s Show.

## Will That ‘70s Show Inspire Any More Spinoffs?
That ‘90s Show is currently performing well on Netflix, making its debut at No. 5 on their weekly chart of the most-streamed English-language series and climbing to the fourth position the following week. While That ‘90s Show is the second attempt at generating a successful spinoff series from That ‘70s Show, many viewers might be surprised to learn it is not actually the first spinoff.
Despite sharing the same creative team as That ‘70s Show, That ’80s Show did not have any direct connections with its predecessor and the respective characters from each of the two shows never crossed paths. After being panned by critics and failing to resonate with audiences, Fox canceled the series after only 13 episodes.
With That ‘90s Show now the second attempt at generating a successful spinoff series from That ‘70s Show, the question remains whether audiences will see any other decades covered in potential ’90s Show spinoffs. While Grace jokes about a possible That ‘00s Show, there’s actually more potential in a prequel series focusing on Red and Kitty during their younger years.
## Why A That ‘50s Show Prequel Would Work
As the main connective tissue between That ‘70s Show and That ‘90s Show, a potential That ‘50s Show could provide their characters with the opportunity to demonstrate what happened during their own reckless youth. Whether such as prequel series will ever eventuate remains to be seen, but it is clear That ‘70s Show’s legacy will continue to live on for many more years to come.
That ‘90s Show has already proven to be a success, and a potential That ‘50s Show prequel could be just as successful. By exploring Red and Kitty’s younger years, the show could offer viewers a unique insight into the characters they know and love, as well as the potential for some hilarious ’50s-style comedy.
Whether That ‘50s Show will ever happen remains to be seen, but with Topher Grace’s hilarious reaction to the news of That ‘90s Show season 2 renewal, it’s clear the legacy of That ‘70s Show will continue for many more years to come.
