Beverly Hills, CA., (April 21, 2015) —
Netflix, the world’s leading Internet TV network, has ordered a
13-episode season of a new multi-camera comedy from Warner Horizon
Television, Miller-Boyett Productions and Jeff Franklin Productions. Fuller House is the long-awaited sequel to the iconic hit series Full House. Created by original Full House creator Jeff Franklin, Fuller House will premiere exclusively across all Netflix territories in 2016.
Candace Cameron-Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber are set to star in Fuller House, with fellow Full House star John Stamos set to produce and reprise his original role of Uncle Jesse as a guest star in the new show. Discussions with Full House stars Bob Saget, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin regarding guest appearances in Fuller House are ongoing.
In Fuller House, the adventures that began in 1987 on Full House
continue, with veterinarian D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Cameron-Bure) pregnant
and recently widowed, living in San Francisco. D.J.’s younger
sister/aspiring musician Stephanie Tanner (Sweetin) and D.J.’s lifelong
best friend/fellow single mother Kimmy Gibbler (Barber), along with
Kimmy’s feisty teenage daughter Ramona, all move in to help take care of
D.J.’s two boys — the rebellious 12-year-old J.D. and neurotic
7-year-old Max — and her soon-to-arrive baby.
“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,” said Cindy Holland, Vice President of
Original Content for Netflix.
In a joint statement, executive producers Robert L. Boyett, Thomas L. Miller and Jeff Franklin said: “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 is from Miller-Boyett
Productions and Jeff Franklin Productions in association with Warner
Horizon Television for Netflix. Robert L. Boyett, Thomas L. Miller and
Jeff Franklin are the executive producers of the series, which was
created by Franklin. John Stamos is a producer.
