The original stars of That ’70s Show are set to reprise their roles for Netflix‘s forthcoming spinoff series That ’90s Show. Topher Grace (Eric Forman), Mila Kunis (Jackie Burkhart), Ashton Kutcher (Michael Kelso), Laura Prepon (Donna Pinciotti) and Wilmer Valderrama (Fez) will return in guest-starring roles, though Danny Masterson will not appear in the series.
The seasoned stars will join Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp, who will appear regularly in their former That ’70s Show roles of Red and Kitty, respectively, along with newcomers Callie Haverda, Ashley Aufderheide, Mace Coronel, Maxwell Acee Donovan, Reyn Doi and Sam Morelos.
The series’ official synopsis reads, “Hello, Wisconsin! It’s 1995 and Leia Forman, daughter of Eric and Donna, is visiting her grandparents for the summer where she bonds with a new generation of Point Place kids under the watchful eye of Kitty and the stern glare of Red. Sex, drugs and rock ’n roll never dies, it just changes clothes.”
The 10-episode series, which was ordered straight to series in October, was created by Gregg Mettler, Bonnie Turner, Terry Turner and Lindsey Turner. Marcy Carsey and Tom Werner are executive producers on the series.
That ’90s Show does not yet have a premiere date at Netflix.
