That ‘90s Show's Cast Repeats That ‘70s Show’s Success Formula
The new cast of teens for That ‘90s Show is repeating the same trick that helped make That ‘70s Show’s characters so appealing from the very beginning. While it’s unclear whether any of the teens from That ‘70s Show will be returning as adults in Netflix’s sequel series, the reboot will be led by Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp, who play Red and Kitty Forman, respectively. Just as they dealt with the teenage trends and woes of the 1970s, Smith and Rupp are leading a new cast of teens in That ‘90s Show, as they watch over a new generation as grandparents.
Netflix has already revealed the new Point Place teen cast and characters for That ‘90s Show, with brand new personalities for the era. Eric and Donna’s “smart, snarky” daughter Leia Forman is played by Callie Haverda, her rebellious Riot Grrrl friend Gwen is portrayed by Ashley Aufderheide, and Gwen’s fun, easy-going brother Nate is played by Maxwell Acee Donovan. Also joining That ‘90s Show’s cast are Reyn Doi as Leia’s insightful, openly gay friend Ozzie, Sam Morelos as Nate’s ambitious girlfriend Nikki, and Mace Coronel as the charming videographer Jay.
