That ’90s Show is one of the most exciting spinoffs that Netflix is working on right now, and its cast is shaping up to be amazing. The main ensemble of That ’70s Show agreed to make special guest appearances in this promising follow-up.

Topher Grace (Eric Forman), Mila Kunis (Jackie Burkhart), Ashton Kutcher (Michael Kelso), Laura Prepon (Donna Pinciotti), and Wilmer Valderrama (Fez) will return in the upcoming spinoff, while Danny Masterson (Steven Hyde) will sit this one out due to his ongoing legal troubles.

Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Ru were cast as series regulars long before the members of the main That ’70s Show cast confirmed their return. The series will see their characters Red and Kitty Foreman take care of Leia Forman, the daughter of Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti, during the summer of 1995.

While spending her summer break at her parents’ hometown, Leia (Callie Haverda) bonds with a group of local teens, played by relative newcomers Ashley Aufderheide, Mace Coronel, Maxwell Acee Donovan, Reyn Doi, and Sam Morelos.

That ’70s Show also followed a group of teens growing up in Point Place, Wisconsin, but it was set during a different era. It aired on Fox between 1998 and 2006 and experienced a boom in popularity after becoming available on Netflix.
