Kurtwood Smith says the cast of That ‘70s Show were able to pick up right where they left off in That ‘90s Show (give or take a few decades).

Smith, 80, played Red Forman on the hit sitcom that ended in 2006. He reprised his character for the Netflix spinoff, which premiered in January 2023.

Smith spoke with Us Weekly exclusively at the premiere of the spinoff’s second season. He said bringing back their old characters was “easy” and “fun,” and lauded Laura Prepon (Donna) for her growth since the show’s original run.

“Laura is directing now as well, she directed half of the shows this year,” Smith said. “It’s a real pleasure to work with her in that situation and see how she has developed and yet, acting-wise, it’s [the] same old Donna.”

That ’70s Show managed to cultivate some of the most iconic moments in pop culture history. It’s also responsible for catapulting its younger stars Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Ashton Kutcher, Mila Kunis, Wilmer Valderrama and Danny Masterson into the spotlight. Created by Mark Brazill, Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner, That ’70s Show centered on a […]

Prior to That ‘90s Show, Prepon directed three episodes of Orange Is the New Black. She also wrote and directed the 2011 TV movie Neighbros.

Smith and Debra Jo Rupp star in That ‘90s Show as grandparents to Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna’s daughter, Leia (Callie Haverda). Prepon, 44, has a recurring role while Grace guest stars on the spinoff. Many characters from the original series pop up throughout the first season.

“The thing that has made both seasons work so well is the fact that we enjoy each other’s company,” Smith added. “And we have fun doing it. I think that this show very much is really about family, you know, a larger family.”

Season 1 of That ‘90s Show received positive reviews and rose to No. 4 on Netflix’s Top 10 TV English titles. The series was renewed for a second season just one month after it debuted.

Back to Wisconsin! Fans of That ‘70s Show could not be more excited when its new spinoff series was announced but many wondered if their favorite characters would return. The premise of the reboot, aptly titled That ‘90s Show, follows Eric Forman and Donna Pinciotti’s daughter, Leia, played by Callie Haverda, who visits her grandparents […]

To Smith, the idea to bring That ‘70s Show back in a spinoff seemed wise.

“When we finished 70 Show, we did 200 episodes. And I thought that was the end. It just didn’t occur to me that there’d be any coming back,” he said. “But then when they started bringing shows back and redoing them, I thought, ‘well, they could do that with our show.’ It’s easy, since Debra Jo and I are still around and working. Sure enough, they called me up one day and said, ‘What do you think about this?’ And I said, ‘Let’s do it.’”

The 16-episode That ‘90s Show: Part 2 will be released in two batches of episodes. The first episodes will drop on Thursday, June 27 on Netflix with the second group following on October 24.
