Most of That '70s Show's main cast will be making guest appearances on the upcoming spin-off series That '90s Show, including Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, and Wilmer Valderrama.
As reported by Variety, all of these characters will obviously be returning to their respective roles, but they will not be joined by Danny Masterson as he is set to stand trial on multiple sexual assault allegations.
It was previously announced that Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp will star in That '90s Show as Red and Kitty Forman once again, and they will be part of a cast that includes Ashley Aufderheide, Callie Haverda, Mace Coronel, Maxwell Acee Donovan, Reyn Doi, and Sam Morelos.
That '90s Show will be set in 1995 and will follow Haverda's Leia Forman, who is the daughter of Grace's Eric and Prepon's Donna. Leia is visiting her grandparents for the summer and will bond with "a new generation of Point Place kids under the watchful eye of Kitty and the stern glare of Red."
Netflix has already given That '90s Show a 10-episode order, and That '70s Show's creators Bonnie and Terry Turner, as well as their daughter of Lindsey Turner, will serve as writers and executive producers. That '70s Show's Gregg Mettler will write, executive produce, and serve as showrunner.
The original series debuted in 1998 and ran for eight seasons and 200 episodes before coming to an end in 2006. In 2002, That '80s Show aired on Fox but focused on a new set of characters that didn't cross paths with those from the original show. It only ran for one season and 13 episodes.
