The original cast of Full House: Where are they now?

Publish date: 2024-07-21

Have mercy, the Tanner clan is coming back to the small screen — sort of.

After swinging by “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Monday night, “Full House” alum John Stamos confirmed that the beloved ABC sitcom would get a second life on Netflix in the 13-episode spinoff, “Fuller House.”

“It’s a labor of love and we’ve been literally trying for so many years to do it right, and I think we finally got it perfect,” Stamos shared exclusively with Kimmel.
(Stamos will produce the series, which Netflix confirmed on Tuesday.)

Slated to air next year, “Fuller House” will focus on the recently widowed (and pregnant) D.J. Tanner Fuller (Candace Cameron-Bure), who is living in San Francisco with her two sons. To help D.J. and her family adjust to their new reality, younger sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and lifelong bestie Kimmy Gibler (Andrea Barber), along with her daughter, all move in to chateau Tanner.

While Cameron-Bure will officially reunite with Barber, Stamos and Sweetin on-screen, former “Full House” regulars Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, Lori Loughlin and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are still negotiating to appear in the reboot.

Until we get reacquainted with our favorite group of San Franciscans, let’s take a look back at what the cast has been up to in the meantime.

Candace Cameron-Bure

After marrying hockey pro Valeri Bure in 1996, Cameron-Bure remained a constant presence on the small screen. Not only has the mother of three appeared in a number of made-for-TV flicks, but she also starred in the ABC Family gymnast drama “Make It or Break It” for three seasons.

Andrea Barber


Unlike her on-screen BFF, Barber shifted focus to school instead of the spotlight after “Full House” wrapped in 1995. After scoring an English degree from Whittier College, the California native went on to obtain her master’s in women’s studies from the University of York in England. She and hubby Jeremy Rytky are the parents of two children, son Tate and daughter Felicity.

Dave Couilier

Couilier became a small-screen staple after officially hanging up Joey’s clown shoes. The newlywed has lent his vocal talents to shows like “Robot Chicken” and “Dexter’s Laboratory,” among others. As to whether he’ll get to act as Mr. Woodchuck again, only time (and contract negotiations) will tell.

Lori Loughlin

The Queens-born beauty may always be known as Uncle Jesse’s main squeeze, but she’s become the token “cool mom” on various CW shows. Following her stint on “Summerland” in 2005, Loughlin starred in the “90210” reboot for four seasons. Like Becky, she also found her happily ever after, wedding fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli in 1997. The pair have two children.

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

Following a string of direct-to-video flicks and short-lived TV series, the Olsen twins set their sights on the fashion world. Now managing two luxe lines, Elizabeth and James and The Row, the dynamic duo have become the CFDA’s newest darlings. Though they typically keep their private life out of the tabloids, Mary-Kate and hubby Olivier Sarkozy made headlines last fall after secretly tying the knot.

Bob Saget

Saget’s “Full House” counterpart may be squeaky-clean, but the Philly native is anything but. Not only has the comedian appeared as a raunchier version of himself on “Entourage,” but he filled the “dad shoes” again as the narrator to Josh Radnor’s Ted Mosby on the beloved CBS comedy “How I Met Your Mother” for nine seasons.

John Stamos

TV isn’t quite the same without Stamos around. Though the former soap stud has had plenty of heartbreak both on- and off-screen, the former Oikos spokesman has made regular appearances on shows like “Glee” and “Two and a Half Men.” While he’ll be stepping into a recurring role on “Fuller House” in 2016, he will also be one of the series’ executive producers.

Jodie Sweetin

Like the Elizabeth Berkley to “Saved by the Bell,” Sweetin’s road after “Full House” wasn’t particularly smooth. From two failed marriages to battling a drug addiction, the Chapman University grad admitted to doing naughty things in the bathroom stall at the 2004 premiere of the Olsens’ big-screen adventure, “New York Minute.” The actress-turned-author has since cleaned up her act, and is now focusing on raising daughter Zoie.
