ABCAdd Full House to the list of TV shows (on the cusp) of being revived.
News about a Full House revival first surfaced in the summer of 2014, but since then things have been quiet. However, on the heels of The X-Files revival and Coach rebirth, a new series of 13 episodes is said to close to happening at Netflix with Candace Cameron Bure and Andrea Barber—DJ Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler on Full House—as the leads. The title of the new series: Fuller House.
A source close to the project told E! News the revival is close to happening with key players in talks, but nobody has signed on yet.
TVLine reports Bob Saget (Danny Tanner), John Stamos (Uncle Jesse) and Dave Coulier (Uncle Joey) will likely guest star with Stamos on board as a producer alongside the show's original creator Jeff Franklin. Thomas L. Miller and Robert L. Boyett, also veterans of Full House, are attached to executive produce.
Request for comment from Netflix and Warner Bros. was not immediately returned.
If Full House comes back, it will join the aforementioned Coach and The X-Files as popular series from the 1990s getting new runs. Twin Peaks is also being revived by Showtime, likely in 2016.
The original show ended in 1995 after eight seasons on ABC. Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky) and Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen (Michelle Tanner) also starred in the family comedy. In 2013, Loughlin told E! News she didn't think a Full House reboot would be smart. "I don't think that there are any plans for a movie," Loughlin told Marc Malkin. "If it were a really good script and a great project, but sometimes I think that it's better off to leave those TV shows as they were and not do reunion shows."
The cast recently reunited to celebrate Franklin's birthday and sang the iconic theme song. See photos from that reunion here.
