Since post-pandemic, the nostalgia element has been thriving in the Hollywood industry. Be it reboots, reunions, or spin-offs, the industry is milking content to evoke the sense of ‘good ol’ times’. One such attempt to invoke nostalgia Netflix has brought the sequel to the ‘That 70s Show’ which is titled ‘That 90s Show’. The ‘That 70s Show’ included stars like Ashton Kutcher, Wilmer Valderrama, Mila Kunis, and others. It took Kutcher and Mila to places due to its success.
The new show is again set in the 1990s in Wisconsin where Donna Pinciotti and Eric Forman’s daughter Leia Forman (Topher Grace) is at the center. It has retrieved the old characters from its predecessor like Fez played by Wilmer Valderrama. So, how could the ‘Black Swan’ star and Ashton miss this golden opportunity? So, the two also decided to make a small cameo in one of the episodes. Nevertheless, Mila was very firm that she and Ashton should not turn down this opportunity to appear in the sequel.

The best parts of #That90sShow were when the cast of #That70sShow would show up. Every scene with @tommychong was epic like before. Red and Kitty was just like what they were before. Too bad @aplusk only had a brief cameo, Kelso was my favorite character.
