After a year of keeping viewers waiting, the first That ’90s Show season 2 trailer is here. Acting as a sequel to the beloved That ’70s Show, the Netflix title revolves around the kids of the original teenage characters, Leia Forman and Jay Kelso, and their friends Nate, Gwen, Ozzie and Nikki during their summer vacations, in which Leia spends with her grandparents, Kitty and Red. Season 2 will see Leia return to her grandparents’ place and navigating the tricky relationship tightrope between Nate and Jay after nearly kissing the former while dating the latter, putting the whole group’s friendship at stake.

As part of the streamer’s Netflix Is A Joke Fest, Netflix has unveiled the first That ’90s Show season 2 trailer.

The video, as seen above, opens with Gwen, Jay and Kitty all arguing about who gets the first hug from Leia when she arrives, only for Red to surprise the group at the front door by having gotten it. The trailer then goes on to highlight the new and returning faces the rest of the season will feature, including returning ’70s Show stars Tommy Chong, Don Stark, Laura Prepon and Seth Green, as well as new guest stars Lisa Loeb, Kadeem Hardison, Matt Rife, Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes.

That ’90s Show Season 2 Is Taking Full Advantage Of Its Bigger Episode Count

With the first season not only seeing strong reviews from critics, but also a solid viewership haul for the streamer, Netflix is looking to build on this success with That ’90s Show season 2 being even bigger than the first, being split into two eight-episode parts rather than one 10-episode season. While casting details for season 2 have remained largely under wraps, the few confirmations known thus far have included Seth Rogen reprising his role of Mitch from That ’70s Show, while original stars Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis announced they wouldn’t be back.

That ‘90s Show season 1 introduces a new generation of teens to Kitty and Red’s basement, and season 2 must bring further depth to the gang.

As revealed by That ’90s Show season 2’s trailer, the creative team behind the show are taking full advantage of their bigger episode count to deliver a crazier season full of familiar faces. Beyond Green, the trailer confirms that both Stark and Chong will be reprising their roles of Leo and Bob after having recurring roles in season 1, while Prepon will also be back as Donna. One of the more interesting season 2 guest stars shown in the trailer is Wayne Knight, who had previously appeared in season 4 of the original show, but it’s unclear if he’s reprising his role.

In addition to the returning stars, That ’90s Show season 2 looks to have plenty of guest stars perfect for its titular era, including Grammy winner Lisa Loeb, A Different World‘s Kadeem Hardison and Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes as Jay and Silent Bob. The latter proves to be a further surprise as it marks their first crossover beyond the View Askewniverse in a project not made by either actor since Scream 3, and after their returns in Smith’s well-received Clerks III. With the trailer only showing brief glimpses of the new and returning stars, it will be interesting to see how they all fit into Leia and her friends’ stories.

That ’90s Show season 2 begins streaming on Netflix on June 27, with a second part releasing October 24.

That ’70s Show returns set two decades later with That ’90s Show, acting as a sequel but bringing back old cast favorites. Led by Red (Kurtwood Smith) and Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) Forman, the new cast arrives as the next generation, with the daughter of Eric and Donna, Leia Forman, leading the charge. Spending the summer with her grandparents, Leia makes new friends and forges new bonds in Point Place, Wisconsin.
