Get ready for a dose of 90s nostalgia with the return of “That ’90s Show”. The series that made us laugh and relive the glory days of Point Place is back with more episodes, bringing back some of our favorite characters along with new faces which promise to add even more fun and mischief. If you were excited by the first part of the Netflix series, the second delivery is ready to take the adventures of Leia Forman and her gang to the next level.
In case you don’t remember, in the first part, Leia Forman, the daughter of Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti, spends her vacation with her grandparents, Red and Kitty, in Point Place, Wisconsin. Like her father, Leia meets a group of teenagers with whom she shares laughter, dilemmas and adventures in the same iconic basement where Eric and his gang lived their unforgettable moments on “That ’70s Show.”
In this new season, we will see Leia and her friends face the typical teenage dramas, from first loves to wild parties, all with the charm of the 90s. The great news is that Laura Prepon will reprise her role as Donna, being the “ only youngest member of the original main cast” to return for season 2, according to Deadline. However, this confirms that Topher Grace will not be returning as Eric, as other members of the original cast have also confirmed that they will not be reprising their roles.
WHO ARE THE RETURNING CHARACTERS FROM “THAT 70’S SHOW”?
1. Seth Green as Mitch Miller
In the first part, we did not see all the characters from the original version return. Seth Green was one of those missing, but that has been fixed for part 2, as he returns as Mitch Miller. Until now, it is not forgotten that Eric “stole his love, Donna.” Therefore, Leia will have a difficult path, considering that she wants to work in her store.
For his part, the actor is known for his participation in various titles such as “Austin Powes”, “Guardians of the Galaxy”, “Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed”, among others.
2. Jim Rash as Fenton
Jim Rash is another “That ’70s Show” veteran returning as Fenton, Fez’s mortal enemy and the owner of Sherri’s house. After the original series, the actor became known for playing Dean Craig Pelton on “Community.”
3. Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti
Before “Orange is the New Black” and “The Girl on the Train,” Laura Prepon was Donna Pinciotti, a favorite on “That ’70s Show.” In the first part of the sequel, she made a brief appearance when she left her daughter Leia at home with her grandparents to spend the summer with them. However, it seems that the now writer will have more presence in the series.
4. Don Stark as Bob Pinciotti
If Donna returns, of course her charismatic father, Bob Pinciotti, cannot be missing, much to Red Forman’s chagrin. Like her daughter, he made a brief appearance in the first part, but now he will have more of a presence on “That ’90s Show” since he is interested in buying the house next door to the Formans.
Other returning characters:
- Debra Jo Rupp as Kitty Forman
- Kurtwood Smith as Red Forman
