That '70s Show was a cultural phenomenon that launched the careers of its young cast members Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Laura Prepon, and Topher Grace.

Now, all four of them are returning to Point Place by returning to appear in the Netflix sequel series That '90s Show.

Netflix ordered That '90s Show straight to series in October 2021, with original cast members Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp set to executive produce and reprise their roles as Red and Kitty Forman.

Back in October, producers were "hopeful" that other members of the original That '70s Show ensemble would agree to appear. Now that they have, Netflix has revealed the logline for the show, which will pick up years after the original series finale:

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.

While Topher Grace and Laura Prepon's roles as Leia's parents Erin and Donna are clear, the capacity in which Kunis and Kutcher will bring back Jackie and Kelso is currently unknown. Netflix did not provide a release date for the series, which according to the site is "coming soon."

Danny Masterson, who played Steven Hyde on That '70s Show, has not been asked to return. The actor and comedian is awaiting criminal trial for three counts of rape.

Netflix had previously responded to the accusations by removing Masterson from The Ranch, a streaming sitcom in which he also starred alongside Ashton Kutcher.
