Hello, Wisconsin! Michael Kelso and Brooke Rockwell’s daughter, Betsy Kelso, is making her debut in That ’90s Show Part 3, debuting with eight new episodes on August 22 on Netflix. The trailer, released on August 15, reveals The Thundermans star Kira Kosarin as the daughter of Ashton Kutcher and Shannon Elizabeth‘s characters from That ’70s Show.
Betsy was born as the result of Kelso and Brooke hooking up at a Molly Hatchet concert in That ’70s Show. Kutcher’s character moved to Chicago to be closer to his daughter in Season 8 of the hit sitcom, but he had moved back to Wisconsin and was living with wife Jackie (Mila Kunis) in 1995 when That ’90s Show began. Jackie and Kelso are parents to Jay Kelso (Mace Coronel), Betsy’s half-brother.
Nate (Maxwell Acee Donovan) is flirting with Betsy in a bar in the trailer above, but he doesn’t know who she is. After he steps away, she tells the bartender to put the drink under tab, revealing her last name and making the audience gasp in response.

In That ’90s Show Part 3 (basically Season 3), it’s 1996 and Leia Forman (Callie Haverda) is back in Point Place for another summer of fun with her friends and grandparents, Kitty (Debra Jo Rupp) and Red (Kurtwood Smith).
The season picks up right back in the Forman kitchen, where Red and Kitty return from Paris to find a giant hole in the wall. And this isn’t even the biggest crisis Leia has to face. New relationships are formed, old ones move to the next level. Friendships are tested and just when things seem to be working out, a blast from the past returns to blow it all up again (could that be Betsy?). With Summer break winding down, the gang has to come to terms with Leia leaving them again, but this time she’s not going without a fight.
That ‘90s Show also stars Ashley Aufderheide, Reyn Doi, and Sam Morelos. Laura Prepon reprised her role as Donna in Part 2 and will return in Part 3. Donna reunites with Seth Green‘s That ’70s Show character who was always obsessed with her, Mitch Miller, in the Part 3 trailer. He tries to make a move (again), but she’s still very happily married to Eric (Topher Grace, who hasn’t appeared in the Netflix sitcom since Part 1).
Additional Part 3 guest stars include Don Stark, Andrea Anders, Kevin Smith, Mike “The Miz” Mizanin, Jim Rash, and Jason Mewes.
