Spin-Off Series Set For Netflix. Beloved 80’s and 90’s series Full House is on its way back to television. The re-launched series (called Fuller House) will consist of 13 episodes (kicking off with a cast reunion episode) and air on Netflix in 2016. Former 90’s heartthrob and star of the show John Stamos, broke the news  last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

Stamos will produce the show as well as guest star in the role of “Uncle Jesse”. The show is still “negotiating” with former series regulars Bob Saget, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin regarding guest appearances.

Vice president of original content for Netflix, Cyndy Holland released the following statement.

As big fans of the original Full House, we are thrilled to be able to introduce Fuller House’s new narrative to existing fans worldwide, who grew up on the original, as well as a new generation of global viewers that have grown up with the Tanners in syndication.

Stamos admitted that he, Jeff Franklin (show creator), Robert L. Boyett, Thomas L. Miller (show producers) have been trying get the spinoff series off the ground for years.

Fuller House executive producers Robert L. Boyett, Thomas L. Miller and Jeff Franklin released the following joint statement regarding the show.

The continued support of ‘Full House’ fans of all ages for the last 28 years has been astounding. It is an honor and a thrill to catch up with these beloved characters and explore their lives today. The love you saw on the show was real. The cast has remained a loving family off screen all these years. We are as excited as our fans to finally bring ‘Full House’ back to life.

Fuller House Synopsis,

The revival series will focus on Candace Cameron Bure’s character, D.J. Tanner, who is a recently widowed and pregnant veterinarian. Her younger sister and aspiring musician Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) and her childhood best friend, Kimmy Gibbler, (Andrea Barber), along with Gibbler’s feisty teenage daughter Ramona, move in to help D.J. raise her two sons — rebellious 12-year-old J.D. and neurotic 7-year-old Max — and soon-to-arrive baby.

We are certainly living in a never say never era of show business. Many actors spend the duration of their careers trying to break type-casting by distancing themselves from their sit-com personas. The internet has breed a culture starving to satiate their nostalgic cravings. As long as the market is hot and the money is there to entice stars back to their old roles, we will see programming like Fuller House occuring with more frequency.
