Along with his wife, Mila Kunis, who is also part of the cast of the series playing Jackie Burkhart, he says that, after being invited to revive their characters, they felt that “it was the right thing to do”.
“Mila and I were contemplating it. We thought, ‘Listen, we’re only in the position that we’re in because of that show, so let’s just go back and do this. We just went back and had fun for a week”. Kutcher added that the long-awaited spin-off “is really fun” and the “new cast is phenomenal.”
