Netflix’s That ’70s Show spinoff has assembled its new basement crew.
The streamer announced Thursday that That ’90s Show will be headlined by Callie Haverda (Shut Eye), who has been cast as Eric and Donna’s teenage daughter Leia Foreman. She’ll be joined by fellow franchise newcomers Ashley Aufderheide (Emergence), Mace Coronel (Colin in Black & White), Maxwell Acee Donovan (Gabby Duran & The Unsittables), Reyn Doi (Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar) and Sam Morelos, as well as returning series regulars Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp, who are set to reprise their beloved roles as Red and Kitty (and serve as executive producers).
Per our sister site Deadline, fellow OGs Topher Grace (Eric), Laura Prepon (Donna), Mila Kunis (Jackie) and Ashton Kutcher (Kelso) are currently in negotiations with Netflix and are expected to recur on the 10-episode offshoot. A premiere date has not yet been announced.
That ’90s Show picks up 15 years after the original series finale on Fox. The year is 1995, and Leia 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,” according to the official logline.

Callie Haverda as Leia Foreman
Image Credit: Courtesy of Netflix 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 as Gwen
Image Credit: Courtesy of Netflix 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 as Jay
Image Credit: Courtesy of Netflix 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 as Nate
Image Credit: Courtesy of Netflix 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.
-
Sam Morelos as Nikki
Image Credit: Courtesy of Netflix 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.
-
Reyn Doi as Ozzie
Image Credit: Courtesy of Netflix 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.
-
Kurtwood Smith as Red Foreman
Image Credit: Courtesy of Everett Collection A classic never goes out of style. When the new kids bring out the old Red, the spring in Red’s step puts a spring in Kitty’s too!
-
Debra Jo Rupp as Kitty Foreman
Image Credit: Courtesy of Everett Collection A whole new world opens to Kitty with the new generation and she is right at home. It has never been cooler to be Kitty.
