“That ’90s Show,” the follow-up series to “That ’70s Show,” has been canceled after two seasons on Netflix, franchise star Kurtwood Smith wrote on Instagram Thursday evening.

“I know you’ve been asking me when season 3 is coming, but I have some tough news… Netflix will not be renewing,” Smith, who stars as Red Forman, wrote on Instagram. “I just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to all the fans around the world who supported and watched the show. You’ve come up to me in random parts of the world when I’ve been traveling and reached out to me on social media and you’ve just been so amazing. I loved every minute of bringing Grandpa Red to life for all of you. I’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again… this show had so much heart behind it and the most amazing cast, writers, directors, producers and crew any actor could hope to deal with work. Thank you for having Red and Kitty, their grandchild, all their grandchildren, friends and neighbors, the original cast members of That 70’s Show and all of our wonderful guest cast members entertain you for two seasons. To steal the words of Red Forman…we’re not going to be idiots…we’re going to buy the show because good grandparents would do their best to get these kids to graduate from high school.
