Kitty Forman’s relationship with Leia in That ‘90s Show will finally fix the character’s saddest storyline from That ‘70s Show. Netflix’s That ‘90s Show picks up in 1995, about 15 years after That ‘70s Show's finale, which last saw the original characters counting down to midnight on New Year’s Eve 1979.

Alongside Leia and her new teenage friends, That ‘90s Show is bringing back numerous characters from That ‘70s Show.
