That '90s Show (2023) is a comedy series from Netflix. It has built a run of 26 episodes. It premiered on January 19, 2023. Viewers rate it 5.5 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 3 seasons.
What That '90s Show Is About
Set in Wisconsin in 1995, That ’90s Show follows Leia Forman, daughter of Eric and Donna, who is visiting her grandparents for the summer where she bonds with a new generation of Point Place kids under the watchful eye of Kitty and the stern glare of Red. Sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll never dies, it just changes clothes.
What to Expect When You Watch
The format keeps each instalment self-contained enough to drop into, the full run covers 26 episodes, spread across 3 seasons and it leans into its comedy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Kurtwood Smith, Debra Jo Rupp and Ashley Aufderheide to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Kurtwood Smith, Debra Jo Rupp, Ashley Aufderheide, Callie Hope Haverda, Mace Coronel and Maxwell Acee Donovan lead the cast.
Key roles include Kurtwood Smith as Red Forman; Debra Jo Rupp as Kitty Forman; Ashley Aufderheide as Gwen Runck; Callie Hope Haverda as Leia Forman; Mace Coronel as Jay Kelso.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of comedy have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Netflix’s other originals, a 5.5/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2023 and carried by Netflix with the series still ended, it lands hardest with comedy viewers.
How That '90s Show Compares
If That '90s Show lands for you, the next stops are Nathan for You, Taskmaster and Seinfeld, which share its comedy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole That '90s Show is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its comedy roots, It has held up since 2023 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
That '90s Show is a safe bet for anyone already inside the comedy lane, at 26 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 5.5/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 5.5/10. Watch it if you want comedy you can settle into.
