Netflix has renewed “Fuller House” for a fifth and final season.
“Fuller House” first debuted in 2016 and served as a continuation of the former “TGIF” sitcom, following Candace Cameron-Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber’s characters. Juan Pablo Di Pace, Adam Hagenbuch, John Brotherton, Michael Campion, Elias Harger and Soni Bringas also starred.
The series was set up much in the same as the original “Full House” with D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Cameron-Bure) as a widowed mother of three sons who lives with her sister Stephanie (Sweetin) and best friend Kimmy (Barber) in the Tanner’s childhood home from the ABC series.
Original series stars including Scott Weinger, Bob Saget, Lori Loughlin, Dave Coulier and John Stamos often showed up as well, with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen being the only major original cast members to not make an appearance. The original “Full House” aired as part of ABC’s long-running “TGIF” Friday night comedy block from 1987 to 1995.
“Fuller House” is produced by Miller-Boyett Prods. and Jeff Franklin Prods. in association with Warner Horizon Television. Bob Boyett and Jeff Franklin serve as executive producers, though Franklin was fired last year after following complaints about inappropriate behavior.
