Ashton Kutcher Explains Why It Was Important For Him And Mila Kunis To Be In "That '70s Show" Spinoff
Hollywood's beloved couple Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis first met on the set of "That '70s Show," which ended more than 15 years ago. They decided it was very important for them to return to set for the Netflix spinoff called "That '90s Show."
Ashton and Mila got married in 2015 and now have two children together, but although they're now one of Hollywood's favorite couples, there was quite a bit of time between when they first met on set and when they became a couple. They both starred in That '70s Show, which ran from 1998-2006. They went their separate ways and were in different relationships before they reunited and got married.

When it was announced that there would be a spinoff called That '90s Show, Ashton says he and Mila "were contemplating it." He's bringing back the role of Michael Kelso while Mila is reprising her role of Jackie Burkhart. Both of them will be doing guest appearances rather than be series regulars.
Ashton explained to Variety that it was important for him and Mila to come back to set and bring their roles back to life because the show got them to where they are today.
“We thought, ‘Listen, we’re only in the position that we’re in because of that show, so let’s just go back and do this," he said. "We just went back and had fun for a week. It was so random and fun.”
He also said that the "new cast is phenomenal" and the whole show is "really funny." The storyline follows the daughter of Eric (Topher Grace) and Donna (Laura Prepon) as she visits her grandparents for the summer. Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) are coming back as well.
"It was the really nostalgic to be back on the set," Ashton said. That '90s Show doesn't have a release date set yet, but it will air on Netflix.
