In 2025, the couple continues to be spotted on casual date nights in West Hollywood and attending Los Angeles Dodgers games with their kids, reinforcing their commitment to a balanced family life in their custom-built sustainable farmhouse.
Professionally, they both reprised their roles as the now-married Jackie and Kelso in the sequel series *That '90s Show*, which premiered on Netflix.

Kutcher, a successful venture capitalist, remains active in tech investments alongside his acting career.

As of 2025, they are the main stars of the Netflix comedy, which focuses on Eric and Donna's daughter, Leia Forman, spending the summer with her grandparents in Point Place.
Their return as Red, whose signature line "Dumbass!" is still a fan favorite, and the ever-optimistic Kitty, has been a massive draw for the new show.

From Eric Forman to NCIS Star: The Main Trio’s Diverse Paths
Topher Grace: Horror and Film Roles
Topher Grace (Eric Forman) left the original series after Season 7 to pursue a film career, a move that led to roles in movies like *Spider-Man 3* and the Oscar-winning *BlacKkKlansman*.
In the most recent updates, Grace has been focusing heavily on film. In 2024, he starred in the horror film *Heretic*. Looking ahead to 2025, he is slated to join the cast of an untitled film directed by Chris Rock, demonstrating his continued versatility across genres.
While he made a cameo in the premiere of *That '90s Show*, his current busy film schedule suggests he is unlikely to become a regular presence on the sequel series.
Wilmer Valderrama: Television Mainstay and New Memoir
Wilmer Valderrama (Fez) has arguably the most stable and high-profile television career of the main cast.
He currently stars as Special Agent Nick Torres on the highly-rated CBS drama *NCIS*, a role he has held since 2016. The show remains one of the most-watched dramas on television, keeping Valderrama in the public eye consistently in 2024 and 2025.
In his personal life, Valderrama and his fiancée, Amanda Pacheco, welcomed their second child in a recent happy family announcement. He was also recognized for his philanthropic work, receiving an honor at the 2025 USO Gala. Furthermore, he announced his debut memoir, *American Story: Everyone's Invited*, adding "author" to his list of professional entities.
Laura Prepon: Directing, Entrepreneurship, and Personal Change
Laura Prepon (Donna Pinciotti) is best known post-*That '70s Show* for her major role as Alex Vause in the critically acclaimed Netflix series *Orange Is the New Black*, where she also stepped behind the camera to direct several episodes.
In 2024 and 2025, Prepon has been focusing on her entrepreneurial side, launching her own line of cookware called PrepOn Kitchen, available on HSN. This move highlights her shift toward lifestyle and business ventures.
Prepon, like her former co-stars, also returned for a guest appearance in *That '90s Show*. Personally, the actress's separation from actor Ben Foster was also reported in 2024.
The Steven Hyde Factor: Danny Masterson’s Current Status
The update on Danny Masterson (Steven Hyde) is the most difficult and sensitive part of the cast's current life. Masterson's career was derailed following multiple allegations of sexual assault.
In 2023, Masterson was convicted of rape and subsequently sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.
As of 2025, Masterson remains incarcerated. This legal and personal tragedy has effectively ended his acting career and is a stark contrast to the continued professional success and nostalgic returns of the rest of the *That '70s Show* cast. Due to his conviction, his character, Steven Hyde, has been written out of the narrative of *That '90s Show*.
