That 90s Show has finally landed on Netflix, and for fans of the That 70s Show, it’s jam-packed with the ultimate nostalgia — including some VERY familiar faces from the original series.
While (at the time of publication) you may haven’t have had the time to binge every episode, let us assure you that the cameos come thick and fast.
Warning: This post contains spoilers for That ’90s Show.
From Ashton Kutcher (Michael Kelso) to Kurtwood Smith (Red Foreman), Topher Grace (Eric Forman), Debra Jo Rupp (Kitty Forman), Laura Prepon (Donna Pinciotti) and Wilmer Valderrama (Fez) — it’s truly squeal-inducing excitement at every turn.
The OG cast — which also starred Ashton’s now IRL wife, Mila Kunis (Jackie Burkhart) — aired from 1998 to 2006, making us feel extremely old.
But before we get to the all-star list of returning stars, here’s a little context.
What is Netflix’s That 90’s Show About?
The show centres on Leia Forman (Callie Haverda), the teenage daughter of Eric and Donna, who forms bonds with other teenagers as she spends the summer of 1995 with her grandparents, Red and Kitty (Smith and Rupp), in Point Place, Wisconsin.
Returning leads Kurtwood and Debra Jo are exactly the same and are the springboards for the nostalgic element of the show.
Taking place 15 years after the events of That ’70s Show, Leia’s gang of new friends includes Ashley Aufderheide (Gwen Runck), Mace Coronel (Jay Kelso), Maxwell Acee Donovan (Nate Runck), Reyn Doi (Ozzie), Sam Morelos (Nikki) and Andrea Anders (Sherri).
Which original That 70s Show cast members appear in That 90s Show?
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher
Mila and Ashton met on the set of That 70s Show and have since gone on to live in marital bliss with two children, Wyatt, eight, and Dimitri, six.
During the first episode of That 90s Show, we learn that their on-screen characters also got married and had a son named Jay.
The couple appear at the Forman household to pick up their kid, revealing they are getting remarried, with Ashton even delivering his iconic “burn”!
Topher Grace and Laura Prepon
Without Eric and Donna, there would truly be no storyline for That 90s Show because, once again, the entire show centres around the Forman’s which now includes their daughter Leia.
The couple, who are now married in the show, return to Red and Kitty’s, where their daughter ends up staying for the Summer.
Laura appears three times in total, while Topher (who is currently starring in Home Economics, streaming on Stan) makes an appearance in only the first episode.
Wilmer Valderrama
Fez was probably one of the most loveable characters on That 90s Show and now that he’s all grown up, he’s even better!
Like Kitty and Red, Fez’s character has quite the arc in the new iteration, which meant that Wilmer returned for more than one episode!
We first see him again when Kitty goes to his hair salon, and it’s just… perfection!
Don Stark
Since Donna and Eric are now married, it’s only right that Don Stark’s Bob Pinciotti returned to p**s off Red and spend time with his granddaughter.
He appears in episode six to celebrate her 16th birthday.
Tommy Chong
Iconic stoner Leo Chingwake is still kicking and of course, still stoned AF.
Tommy Chong appears in two episodes of the new series and he’s a glorious mess.
And finally, Jim Rash makes a quick cameo…and lo and behold, he STILL has unresolved issues with Fez.
