Why Isn’t That ’70s Show on Netflix?
Once the third most-watched sitcom on Netflix, That ’70s Show left the platform globally in September 2020. After a two-year wait, it was lastly revealed in August 2022 that the sitcom had discovered a brand new streaming residence, Peacock.
By the time it was introduced That ’70s Show was transferring to Peacock, Netflix had already been engaged on That ’90s Show for ten months, and filming was nonetheless ongoing.
It’s extraordinarily complicated that Casey-Werner, the proprietor of That ’70s Show, allowed Peacock to buy the streaming rights for 3 years once they had been engaged on the sequel to the identical sequence with Netflix. We’re undecided what the explanations behind the choice are, however regardless, Netflix ought to have thrown the kitchen sink at Casey-Werner to win the streaming rights again for That ’70s Show.
So, because it stands, Netflix subscribers will want a subscription to Peacock to stream That ’70s Show.
