Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher’s decision not to return to “That ’90s Show” seems to be based on a sense of closure and a desire to move on rather than any dissatisfaction with the show itself. Their brief appearance in the first season allowed them to revisit the familiar setting of Point Place and contribute to the spinoff, but they now feel that they’ve made their contribution and are ready to focus on other projects.
Kunis expressed this sentiment during Paleyfest’s 25th-anniversary celebration for “Family Guy,” indicating that their involvement in the first season, which included introducing their son in the show, felt sufficient for them. Similarly, Kutcher described the experience of filming the spinoff as nostalgic and bizarre but ultimately enjoyable, emphasizing their appreciation for the opportunity to return to Point Place for a short time.
While Kunis, Kutcher, and other original cast members like Wilmer Valderrama may not be returning for future seasons, the show continues with new cast members and occasional appearances from other “That ’70s Show” alumni like Seth Green. Despite the absence of some familiar faces, the spirit of the original series lives on in “That ’90s Show,” offering fans a nostalgic trip back to Point Place while introducing a new generation to the world of the ’90s.
