Why Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher Won’t Be Returning to ‘That ’90s Show’

Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher are okay with closing the door on That ’90s Show.

According to Kunis, 40, she and her husband, 46, — who reprised their roles as Jackie Burkhart and Michael Kelso in season one of the the That ’70s Show sequel series — will not return for the show’s second second.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight published on Monday, April 22, the actress smiled as she replied, “No,” when asked if fans can expect the two to “pop up again” in season two.

“I mean, we did our thing, and I think they introduced the son right, like it was our son in the show and that was, you know, [enough],” said Kunis.

The Family Guy star met her husband in the original series which aired for eight seasons from 1998 to 2006.

The two costarred alongside Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Wilmer Valderrama, Danny Masterson, Debra Jo Rupp, Kurtwood Smith, Tanya Roberts, Don Stark, Lisa Robin Kelly and Tommy Chong. The Netflix sequel follows Leia Forman, the daughter of Eric (Grace) and Donna (Prepon), as she visits her grandparents in Wisconsin.

In a September 2022 interview with Access, Kunis opened up about the nerves she had while filming the sequel series with Kutcher.

“It was weird to shoot together, I will tell you,” she told the outlet. “It made me super nervous. Oh my God, I was more nervous doing that than anything else in my career — was to shoot with my husband on the set of ‘70s Show. Cause the set is exactly the same.”

“To be married, but to be at the place where we met — and it looks the same — was trippy. We walked on set and I was like, ‘Oh … this is weird.’ It was really weird,” continued Kunis.

She and Kutcher have been married since 2015 and share daughter Wyatt, 9, and son Dimitri, 7. In a February 2023 conversation with PEOPLE, Kutcher said being a father is “the most important role in my life.”
