Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp get along splendidly behind the scenes. In a tweet for Rupp’s birthday, February 24, in 2022, Smith sang his co-star praises. “A very Happy Birthday to my favorite acting partner and one of the best actors working today. Debra Jo! I hope you had a wonderful day today!@DJRupp.” It is nice to see their real-life friendship reflected in social media, but “That ’90s Show” won’t be the pair’s first reunion since “That ’70s Show” ended its run.
In 2019, Entertainment Weekly reported that Smith and Rupp would return to television, playing a husband and wife in the untitled television pilot starring comedian Nate Bargatze. Unfortunately, according to IMDb, the pilot was never given a proper title as it never got picked up for a series. Additionally, in a 2020 tweet by Barrington Stage Company, it was announced that, during the height of the pandemic, Smith and Rupp would reunite for an online streaming play called “Three Viewings” by playwright Jefferey Hatcher.
With all this friendship and experience working together, it seems like it will be easy for Smith and Rupp to return to acting opposite each other on “That ’90s Show.” While we still don’t have a release date for the upcoming Netflix reboot of “That ’70s Show,” it will be well worth the wait to see the reunion of these iconic stars.
