That '70s Show star, Laura Prepon, is excited to see Red and Kitty return for That '90s Show. Released in 1998, That ‘70s Show aired on Fox for eight successful seasons. Focusing on the lives of a group of teenage friends and their trials and tribulations while residing in the suburbs of Wisconsin, the hit comedy series officially signed off in 2006.
Starting in the mid-’70s, an era of 8-track tapes, bell-bottoms, and the release of Star Wars, That ‘70s Show centers on Eric Forman (Topher Grace), who lives with his parents Kitty (Donna Jo Rupp) and Red (Kurtwood Smith), and his relationship with his childhood sweetheart, Donna (Prepon). That ‘70s Show also starred Danny Masterson, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, and Wilmer Valderrama. Recently, Netflix announced that a spinoff series, titled That ‘90s Show, was officially in the works. Set in 1995, the spinoff will feature the return of Smith and Rupp in their roles as Red and Kitty Forman. Now, it appears the return of Kitty and Red is not only highly anticipated by fans but by former co-stars as well.
Prepon took to Instagram to post a recent photo of herself with Smith along with the caption, “Can’t wait to see Red & Kitty together again!” Helmed by showrunner Gregg Mattler, That ‘90s Show will follow Leia Forman, the daughter of Eric and Donna, who is visiting her grandparents in Point Place, Wisconsin for the summer. Prepon wrote she “couldn’t be happier” for Rupp and Smith, but didn’t reveal if she would reprise her role as Donna in the upcoming spinoff. Check out Prepon's post below:
