Most current college students have fond memories of watching the beloved television show "Full House", a popular 90's sitcom taking place in San Francisco centering around the Tanner family. My own mother recalls a time when my sister and I were so involved with the show that we talked about the Tanner family as if they were our own real-life neighbors. It has been roughly 20 years since the final episode aired but on February 26th fans around the world can tune in to view the sequel series, "Fuller House", which will be aired on Netflix.
The original producers of the show Jeff Franklin, Thomas L. Miller, and Robert L. Boyett are joined by John Stamos in overseeing the production of the show. All of the members of the original main cast will be reprising their roles, with the exception of Mary Kate and Ashley Olson who played the role of Michelle Tanner. The new series will center around D.J. Tanner (Candace Cameron), the eldest Tanner daughter, who is recently widowed and left to raise three young sons. After the death of her husband, D.J. moves into her childhood home, enlisting her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and her best friend and single mother Kimmie Gibbler (Andrea Barber) to help with the raising of her children. John Stamos, Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and Lori Loughlin will all have recurring roles in the series portraying the roles of Uncle Jesse, Danny Tanner, Uncle Joey, and Rebecca Donaldson-Katsopolis, respectively. Even Scott Weinger, the actor who portrayed D.J.'s ex-boyfriend Steve Hale, will appear in the new series.
While the familiar faces of Uncle Jesse, Danny Tanner, Uncle Joey, and Rebecca will be present frequently in the shows beginning, their appearances will become rarer as the series develops. The parallels between the original show and the sequel don't stop at the plot line. The original theme song "Everywhere You Look" performed by Jesse Frederick will be performed by Carly Rae Jepson for the new series.
Tune in to Netflix on February 26th for the airing of the first episode (along with the other 12 episodes) in ultra-HD, "Our Very First Show, Again".
