That '90s Show part 3 trailer introduces Betsy Kelso, teases Leia's big move
By Reed Gaudens
After moving up the release date for That '90s Show part 3 from October to August, Netflix has unveiled the full official trailer for the next batch of eight episodes. Leia's about to face the consequences of her party crashers when Red and Kitty return home from their trip, and on Aug. 22, it's surely not going to be pretty. But that's not all we can look forward to in part 3!
In the trailer for part 3, a character that fans of That '70s Show have been curious about since the Netflix sequel series made its premiere has finally arrived in Point Place! Kelso's daughter Betsy, who he had with Brooke Rockwell in season 7 of the original series, makes her long-awaited appearance. She's back in town and looking to stir up some drama for her little brother.
The Thundermans star Kira Kosarin brings Kelso' eldest child to life in That '90s Show, and according to her 1979 birthdate, Betsy would be about 17 or 18 years old by 1996. In real life, Kosarin is 26 years old, so it will be interesting to see what the show has planned for her character, especially since Betsy seems to be catching the eye of Jay's best friend Nate. Uh oh!

Elsewhere in the part 3 trailer, Red and Kitty in fact react to the car crashing in to their home and right into their kitchen. Shockingly, it's not Red who makes the first comment, though a silent Red might be the most fearsome. Kitty dramatically utters, "Someone's gonna die!" Well, that makes two rather fearsome Formans for Leia and her friends to contend with.
The trailer also teases in a new storyline for part 3 beyond the various romantic entanglements and friendship woes. As Leia continues to grow closer to her Point Place friends and her boyfriend, she's less inclined to return home to Chicago. She wants to convince her mom to move back to Point Place, but will Donna be on board with returning to her town full time? What about Eric?!

The second half of what's technically the second season was previously set to drop on Oct. 24, but the streamer made the announcement with help from the cast on July 30 that the part 3 release date had been pushed up by two months. Rather than finishing out the summer with the new generation of Point Place teens this fall, we can actually end summer on a high and hilarious note (pun intended).
Beyond the eight episodes of That '90s Show releasing this month, Netflix has not yet renewed the sitcom for another season or more "parts." The showrunner previously teased that he had plans for future episodes to be set during the school year and tackle the holidays. Let's hope part 4 and beyond are in our future! Make to check out the new episodes and find out the next big cliffhanger.
Watch That '90s Show part 3 only on Netflix on Thursday, Aug. 22.
