Topher Grace as Eric Forman, Laura Prepon as Donna Pinciotti. Patrick Wymore/Netflix Topher Grace may not be reprising his role as Eric Forman in That ‘90s Show anytime soon. In Part 3 episode 7 of the Netflix series, Eric’s wife, Donna Pinciotti (Laura Prepon), reveals that he was offered his “dream job.” “He’s on his way to Skywalker Ranch to shadow George Lucas and write a book about the making of the new Star Wars movies,” Donna tells her and Eric’s daughter, Leia (Callie Haverda). “It happened really fast. He got the call, packed his bag and said goodbye to me in Wookiee.” Donna explains that Eric will now be living in California, miles away from their family in Point Place, Wisconsin. While Eric is gone, Donna says she’ll split her time between her workplace in Chicago, Point Place and California.

From Ashton Kutcher to Topher Grace “We always hope to have everybody back,” showrunner Gregg Mettler previously told TVLine. “We come up with ideas, we bat things around … but when you get down to the nitty-gritty of it all, it’s about scheduling.” He continued, “I will be grateful for the rest of eternity for the contributions of the legacy cast members from That ’70s Show in Part 1. Them returning was a blessing, and they handed the show off in a delightful way.” Mettler also gave a shout-out to Prepon, who plays her recurring role as Donna. “She directed the entire Part 3, and she performed a lot in it,” he explained, calling her “wonderful.” As the show moves forward without many of its OG cast members, Mettler noted that “focusing on our characters… and weaving in That ’70s Show people [when available] is a recipe that works for us.” That ‘90s Show Part 3 is currently streaming on Netflix.
