“That ’70s Show” is making a come-back on Netflix as “That ’90s Show,” and many original cast members will be back to reprise their roles.

The reboot will air as a 10-episode season and sees the return of Topher Grace as Eric Forman, as well as his on-screen parents, Red and Kitty, played by Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp, respectively, according to the New York Post.

Mila Kunis will slip back into Jackie Burkhart’s shoes, while Laura Prepon and Ashton Kutcher will return as Donna Pinciotti and Michael Kelso, respectively. The unforgettable character Fez will once again be played by Wilmer Valderrama, but notably missing will be Danny Masterson, who played Hyde. Masterson is currently awaiting trial on three counts of rape, according to the outlet.

The original cast members have been busy promoting the reboot, including Grace, who posted an image of himself in a Vikings shirt alongside the caption “Yup, still fits,” and he went on to hashtag his post with the infamous #hellowwisconsin shout-out. Valderrama’s teaser post included the caption “Red? Let’s try this Amédica word again,” referencing the signature accent his character has on the show.

This will be the first time that Kutcher and Kunis act out their roles as a real-life married couple.
