It is virtually 2023, which suggests there are about to be some new TV collection heading our approach. One of many exhibits I’m most excited for is That ’90s Present on Netflix.
A by-product of That ’70s Present, the collection is ready in 1995 and follows Leia Forman (Callie Haverda), who’s determined for journey, or a minimum of a BFF who is not her dad. So when she arrives in Level Place to go to her grandparents Crimson (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp), Leia finds some journey residing proper subsequent door within the type of a rebellious neighbor named Gwen (Ashley Aufderheide).
Quickly, Leia meets some buddies who make her really feel like a part of the group, so she convinces her mother and father to let her keep in Level Place for the summer time. Now Crimson and Kitty are coping with a complete new group of youngsters hanging out of their basement.
Not solely are we launched to a complete new group of teenagers (extra on them later), however a majority of the unique That ’70s Present solid members are returning as their iconic characters.
Alongside Kurtwood and Debra Jo, Don Stark will return as Bob Pinciotti, Donna’s dad and Leia’s grandfather, and Tommy Chong can be again as Leo.
In the meantime, Topher Grace, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Laura Prepon, and Wilmer Valderrama will all seem as particular company as they reprise their roles as Eric, Jackie, Kelso, Donna, and Fez, respectively.
Earlier than we get into extra in regards to the new characters and the present, here is the primary full-length trailer, which encompasses a majority of the returning solid for the primary time:
Okay, to begin with, I positively acquired very emotional seeing Donna and Eric sitting on the hood of the automobile in Crimson and Kitty’s driveway, simply as they did in That ’70s Present.
In the meantime, I will want 5 to 10 enterprise days to course of seeing Ashton and Mila, who’re, after all, married in actual life now, performing collectively once more as Kelso and Jackie.
And, actually, Fez proudly owning a hair salon known as Chez Fez is so on model.
Now, as I discussed above, alongside the returning solid, we have a brand new group of fantastic characters in That ’90s Present that I am positive I will be obsessive about.
First, there’s Leia, Donna and Eric’s daughter, who’s performed by Callie Haverda. Leia is described by Netflix as being “sensible like her mother [and] awkward like her dad.” Leia desires some journey, and he or she’s shocked to search out it in Level Place, of all locations.
Alongside Leia, we have Gwen, performed by Ashley Aufderheide, who’s the rebellious “Riot Grrrl” neighbor and the “unofficial chief of the brand new era of Level Place children.”
Then there’s Jay Kelso, performed by Mace Coronel. Sure, Jackie and Kelso’s son! Jay is charming and flirty, or a minimum of he tries to be. Whereas lots of people underestimate him, he considers himself a “deep thinker.”
And Jay and Leia look as if they will have a little bit summer time romance — or, a minimum of, Leia has a crush on him — which has me screaming.
Subsequent, we’ve got Nate and Nikki, performed by Maxwell Donovan and Sam Morelos. Nate seems to be only a “massive, dumb jock,” when in actuality, he has an enormous coronary heart and he simply loves his girlfriend, Nikki, and his BFFs. In the meantime, Nikki is a brilliant and pushed pupil who will do something to maintain up her GPA.
There’s Ozzie, performed by Reyn Doi, who’s “insightful, sarcastic, and has perspective past his years.” Ozzie is homosexual and needs nothing greater than the world to simply accept him, simply as his buddies do.
And at last, Andrea Anders stars as Sherri, Nate and Gwen’s single mother, who likes to float and eagerly befriends Kitty and Crimson as soon as Leia joins Nate and Gwen’s buddy group.
Actually, I am simply so excited for That ’90s Present — as somebody who considers the unique collection certainly one of their favourite comedies — and I am unable to wait to see this new and returning solid in motion quickly.
