That '70s Show Star Teases the "Top Secret" Follow-Up on Netflix

Last month, production began on That '90s Show, the upcoming follow-up to the beloved sitcom, That '70s Show. Netflix is releasing the sitcom reboot, which will follow Donna and Eric's daughter and see the return of Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith Kitty and Red Forman. The main cast for the series was recently announced, and no other That '70s Show alums were included on the list. However, fans are holding out hope for some cameos, and Topher Grace (Eric Forman) recently gave a promising tease. 

"It's hard for me to watch that show in reruns," Grace told SiriusXM's The Jess Cagle Show when asked about That '70s Show. "It makes you so nostalgic. It'd be like if they were rerunning your high school yearbook all the time." He added of the sequel series, "Well, it's on Netflix and it's starring two of my great friends, which is Debra Jo Rupp and Kurtwood Smith. [They] played my parents and [there will be] a whole new group of kids ... And I know some of the writers that are on it." When asked if he'd be appearing on the show, Grace replied, "Oh, I don't know. It's all top-secret."

Previously, Grace told People that he would return as Eric "in a heartbeat." 

"Mostly just to hang out with everyone 'cause it's such a great group of people and I miss them so much," Grace said back in 2017. "I love that group," he added. "I thought I was lucky to get the part but I now realize I was really lucky to get a part that was with that group of people."
