‘Full House’ on Netflix: John Stamos Will Produce a Spin-Off Titled ‘Fuller House’ on Streaming Service in 2016
Netflix is starting to get a reputation, and it's a good one.
For those who have grown up and suffered the agonizing loss of one of their most beloved TV shows, Netflix is coming to the rescue.
With an expected premier in 2016, John Stamos announced on Jimmy Kimmel Live that he is producing a 13-episode run for Netflix of popular series "Full House." Now, it is titled "Fuller House," and it is not a recast or reboot situation. It is a continuation of the original show.
As reported on Entertainment Weekly, the show will be focused on D.J. (Candice Cameron-Bure) and her two boys. In the show, D.J. is recently widowed, much like that of her father in the original show. So, just like her father did more than two decades ago, she will fill the house with friends and family. Series alums Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler) are set to return as their original characters and fill the house with extra adult supervision. Stamos is also expected to guest star in the show.
Single-mother Kimmy will be moving in with her teenage daughter, Ramona. Younger sister Stephanie moves in on her own. She is an aspiring musician, who collectively mirrors the role that Stamos played as Jesse in the original series.
D.J.'s feisty young sons, J.D. and Max, who are 12 and 7 respectively, have proven to be so much to care for in such a fast-paced world. J.D. is embarking upon his rebellious side, and Max has displayed neurotic characteristics.
In a statement from Cindy Holland, Netflix's vice president of original content, she expressed excitement toward the project.
"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," she said.
