Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher Not Returning for That ’90s Show Season 2: ‘We Did Our Thing’ (Watch)
Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher won’t be saying “Hello, Wisconsin!” anytime soon.
Despite returning as Jackie and Kelso in the first season of That ’90s Show, Kunis confirmed that neither she nor her husband will appear in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s That ’70s Show spinoff.

Entertainment Tonight caught up with the actress over the weekend at PaleyFest’s celebration of Family Guy‘s 25th anniversary, where she explained why the couple will be a no-show in the new season.
“No,” Kunis said when asked if we can expect to see them in Season 2. “I mean, we did our thing and they introduced our son in the show.”
Kunis was referring to Jay Kelso (played by Mace Coronel), the 16-year-old son of Jackie and Kelso. Kunis and Kutcher only appeared in one episode of the show’s first season.
That ’90s Show, a direct continuation of Fox’s That ’70s Show (1998–2006), dropped its 10-episode first season in Jan. 2023, and was renewed for a 16-episode second season just one month later. A release date for Season 2 has yet to be announced.
Kunis and Kutcher were among several actors who reprised their roles from the original series; Topher Grace (Eric), Laura Prepon (Donna), Wilmer Valderrama (Fez), Don Stark (Bob) and Tommy Chong (Leo) also returned in various capacities. That said, no legacy cast members got more screen time than Debra Jo Rupp (Kitty) and Kurtwood Smith (Red), the only two who returned as series regulars.
One person you can expect to see again is Kunis’ Family Guy co-star Seth Green, who revealed that his lesser-known That ’70s Show character — Mitch Miller, who appeared in five episodes of the original series — will pop up in That ’90s Show Season 2.
