As a sequel series to That ’70s Show, the young new cast has been revealed.
The Hollywood Reporter has unveiled the ensemble cast for Netflix’s That ’90s Show, a new 10-episode series set in 1995.
Returning cast members from the original series, That ’70s Show, have already been revealed: Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp, reprising their iconic roles of Red and Kitty Forman.
The pair starred throughout all eight seasons of the original series, and now return as the grandparents of Leia Forman, daughter of fan-favourite characters Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti.
They will also serve as executive producers.
Visiting her grandparents for the summer, Leia Forman bonds with a new generation of Point Place kids under the watchful eye of Kitty and the stern glare of Red.
Starring in the new series are:
Callie Haverda (The Lost Husband) as Leia Forman.
‘Smart like her mom, snarky like her dad, Leia is craving adventure. She’s just not quite sure where or how to start. Until she discovers a best friend in the most unlikely of places: next door to her grandparents house in Point Place.’
Ashley Aufderheide (Emergence) as Gwen.
‘Life gets more interesting for Leia when she meets this Riot Grrrl. Equal parts loyalty, rebellion and heart, Gwen is a dynamic powerhouse and the unofficial leader of the new generation of Point Place kids. Love Gwen. Fear her. Follow her.’
Mace Coronel (Colin in Black & White) as Jay.
‘Jay is charming and flirty — at least, he tries. It doesn’t always come out right. When he’s not hanging out with his best friend Nate or working at the local video store, he’s armed with a video camera and the whole world is his film set.’
Maxwell Acee Donovan (Gabby Duran & the Unsittables) as Nate.
‘The polar opposite of his little sister, Gwen. Nate takes life as it comes, usually with a big open smile. He lets the gang ride in his van because there’s always something fun on the other side of the drive. He loves his family, his girlfriend and Garth Brooks.’
Reyn Doi (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar) as Ozzie.
‘Everyone loves them some Ozzie. He’s insightful, sarcastic and has perspective beyond his years. Ozzie is gay and impatient with the world for not being as accepting as his friends.’
Sam Morelos as Nikki.
‘Nikki is focused, smart, and driven. From the outside, you could easily see her becoming a doctor or a lawyer. But inside, she has more rebellion than a frustrated debutante and her boyfriend Nate can scratch that itch.’
Netflix’s new series That ’90s Show is brought by showrunner Gregg Mettler and creators Bonnie Turner, Terry Turner and Lindsey Turner.
That ’70s Show originally ran from 1998 to 2006, and starred household names such as Topher Grace, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher and Laura Prepon. Deadline has reported all four stars are in contract-negotiations to reprise their roles in the spin-off.
