Nostalgia is a powerful element, and no one knows it like Netflix – a streaming service that has revived so many series that it could technically be called a graveyard for living television. But now, after a long wait, they are bringing back the television series that itself was born as a nostalgic revival of twenty years before, and thus “The Show of the 70s”, which began its broadcasts in the nineties, became “The Show of the 90s”, twenty years After, in 2023. Confused? Us too, but it seems to us that there is something to look forward to for the “teenage show” in 2047.

And the nostalgia buttons will be pressed hard, rest assured. Already from the trailer, you can see Eric and Donna (together, and with a girl), Kelso and Jackie (together, and with a boy), Paz (as a book, and maybe finally out of the closet) and even the return of our favorite star. No, not Hyde, but Leo (played by the perpetually baked Tommy Chong). Why not Hyde? Apparently Danny Masterson, who played the suspected conspirator Stellan, is currently facing trial for sexually assaulting four different women. But enough with bad news because hey! They’re talking about Seattle! In short, this isn’t going to be your most in-depth binge – and it’s not like the original series was that genius – but it could definitely be fun.
Apart from the nostalgia for the nineties and the characters we knew and the passing of youth as if in the wind, the new series will follow Leia, the home of Eric and Donna, who returns for a summer visit to her grandparents Red and Kitty Furman (Courtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp, who also produced the series). There she meets a wide variety of boys who are quite similar, but different enough, from those her parents knew. In her group you will find: Gwen – the local Herriot Girl; Knight – who is described as looking like a big, dumb athlete, but is actually not very athletic; Nikki – the girl stressed about grades and Nate’s friend; Ozzy – a gay and Asian boy; And Jay – a very flirtatious boy who doesn’t always succeed, and the son of Jackie and Kelso. Now that the series is focusing on a triple generation gap, it remains to be seen how Eric Foreman will screw up this time. there are things that do not change.
