It looks like it’s really happening, Netflix has confirmed that it has ordered 13 episodes of Fuller House, an official revival of the ever-popular sitcom that last aired two decades ago. The company has outlined the story and given a brief description of the characters to help build the hype for the return of the series, which I doubt many of Netflix’s younger viewers will even care about.
A Full House revival is waiting just around the bend. Just a few weeks after rumors began furiously swirling about Netflix’s big Tanner return, the streaming network on Monday night officially ordered 13 episodes of Fuller House, a multi-camera comedy set to star Candace Cameron-Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, who played D.J. Tanner, Stephanie Tanner, and Kimmy Gibbler, respectively, in the original series. Billed as a “sequel,” the show will center on veterinarian and mom of two boys (“rebellious 12-year-old J.D. and neurotic 7-year-old Max”) D.J. Tanner-Fuller, who is pregnant, recently widowed, and living in San Francisco. Meanwhile, younger sister Stephanie (Sweetin) is an aspiring musician and best friend Kimmy (Barber) is living life as a single mom to a “feisty” teenage daughter named Ramona. The pair move in to help D.J. raise her family as she prepares for her new addition.
