That ’90s Show, Netflix’s upcoming series, recently wrapped production, and fans of That ’70s Show are excited to see what Point Place, Wisconsin is like in the 1990s. If you want to prepare for the new show by rewatching That ’70s Show, the episodes are currently only available for purchase online. That, according to TV Line, is about to change. However, That ’70s Show will not be available on Netflix prior to the release of That ’90s Show. Instead, the popular sitcom will return to Peacock in September.
That ’70s Show will move to Peacock in September 2022.
We’ve learned that Peacock will be the streaming home starting September 1st, 2022, exactly two years after it was removed. The platform will have all eight seasons.
What we don’t know is whether the series will be exclusive to Peacock or available to other streaming services. Netflix just announced its September 2022 schedule, and it was noticeably missing.
This is a perplexing decision on the part of Carsey-Werner, Netflix, and even NBC Universal. However, money was most likely the deciding factor at the end of the day.
Netflix has a vested interest in the property due to the addition of That ’90s Show to the service. The show is inextricably linked to That ’70s Show, with the original cast reprising their roles.
As of the time of republishing, there was no word on a release date for That ’90s Show, though it is expected in late 2022.
We have no word on whether the series will be distributed outside of the United States by NBC Universal (such as Now in the United Kingdom).
Why did Netflix remove the show from its platform?
That 70s Show left Netflix globally in September 2020, and now, two years later, it appears to have found a new streaming home that isn’t Netflix. Despite the fact that Netflix will be the exclusive home of That 90s Show later in 2022. Here’s what we know so far.
That 70s Show was rumored to be leaving Netflix in late 2019, with the SVOD (streaming video on demand) rights up for renewal. That eventually came to pass, with the entire series departing Netflix worldwide in September 2020.
The show was popular on Netflix, but its popularity plummeted after it left the service. According to Nielsen, the series was the third most-watched sitcom on Netflix in 2020.
What distinguishes That 70s Shows from other removals such as The Office or Friends is that the title owner, Carsey-Werner, does not have a streaming platform that needs to be improved.
