Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, who played Jackie Burkhart and Michael Kelso in the original ‘That ’70s Show’, will not be returning for the second season of its sequel series, ‘That ’90s Show’. Kunis shared her concerns about filming the sequel with Kutcher in September 2022, as it brought back memories of their first meeting on the set of the original series.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have decided not to return for the second season of ‘That 90s Show’ following criticism over their support of convicted rapist Danny Masterson. The duo, who previously portrayed Michael Kelso and Jackie Burkhart on ‘That 70s Show,’ made a guest appearance in the first season of the Netflix spin-off. However, Kunis has firmly denied any rumors of further involvement in the show, emphasizing that they have already fulfilled their roles and introduced their son in the first season.
Kunis’s announcement came during a red carpet appearance with Seth Green at PaleyFest in Los Angeles. Green, on the other hand, confirmed his return to ‘That 90s Show,’ indicating that he has already filmed one episode and will be back for another. Mila and Ashton’s decision to step back is due to the intense scrutiny they have faced for their support of Masterson. The former co-stars of Masterson wrote character references for him before his conviction for raping two women. In the letters, Kutcher described Masterson as a ‘role model,’ while Kunis praised his ‘exceptional character.’
Following public outcry, the couple released a video expressing their regrets and explaining their reasons for writing the letters. They acknowledged the pain caused by their actions and emphasized their support for all victims of sexual assault, sexual abuse, and rape. Kunis clarified that the letters were not intended to undermine the credibility of the judgment or the authority of the system. They concluded by expressing their sympathy for all victims of sexual violence.
Former ‘That ’70s Show’ stars Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have opted not to return for the second season of the spin-off series ‘That ’90s Show’. The couple, who played the beloved characters Jackie Burkhart and Michael Kelso, cited their previous appearances as sufficient. The first season introduced their on-screen son, Jay Kelso. Kunis elaborated on their decision during an interview at PaleyFest, stating that they had ‘done their thing’ and were content with that chapter being closed.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher will not be returning to ‘That ’90s Show’ for Season 2. Kunis explained that she and Kutcher do not feel like necessary additions to the show after their storyline played out in Season 1. The first season introduced Jason “Jay” Kelso, Jackie and Kelso’s son, who picked up right where his father’s antics left off on the original series. Despite participating in Season 1, Kunis expressed dissatisfaction with the way the show was written, particularly the decision to reunite Jackie and Kelso.
Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, who famously met on the set of ‘That ’70s Show’, have confirmed that they will not be returning for the second season of its Netflix spinoff, ‘That ’90s Show’. This decision comes after the couple faced intense backlash for writing letters in support of their former co-star, Danny Masterson, who was found guilty of drugging and raping two women.
Mila Kunis has declined to return to ‘That ’90s Show’ for reasons beyond creative differences. Alongside her husband, Ashton Kutcher, Kunis appeared in the pilot episode to introduce their son and bid farewell. Kunis expressed concerns over plot inconsistencies, believing her character, Jackie, should have ended up with Fez, played by Wilmer Valderrama, as depicted in the original series finale. Despite the adoration from the live studio audience, the couple’s departure will not be repeated by other cast members, including Seth Green, who has confirmed his return as the villainous Mitch Miller.
Mila Kunis has confirmed that neither she nor her husband Ashton Kutcher will reprise their ‘That ’70s Show’ characters in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s sequel series, ‘That ’90s Show’. Kunis and Kutcher had guest-starred in the first season as parents, but have decided not to return.
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher will not be appearing in the second season of ‘That ’90s Show.’ Kunis confirmed the news, while Danny Masterson revealed his character Mitch Miller will return. The first season premiered in January 2023, with returning cast members Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith, and featured cameo appearances by Kunis, Kutcher, and others. The second season is expected to debut this summer on Netflix.
