For fans who thought the Tanner family had closed their doors for good, think again. Fuller House is officially returning for one final season, and excitement is buzzing across social media. The Netflix sequel to the beloved Full House wrapped in 2020, but due to overwhelming fan demand — and the timeless appeal of the Tanner family — the show is making a comeback to deliver a proper farewell.
But what can fans expect from this last chapter? Let’s dive into everything we know (and hope for) about the upcoming final season of Fuller House.
A Quick Recap: From Full House to Fuller House
Before talking about the new season, let’s rewind. Full House premiered in 1987 and became one of the most iconic family sitcoms of all time. It followed widowed dad Danny Tanner, his three daughters, and the hilarious extended family that helped raise them.
Nearly three decades later, Fuller House brought the next generation to Netflix. This time, DJ Tanner-Fuller (Candace Cameron Bure) stepped into her dad’s shoes as a widowed mom raising three boys, with help from her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and best friend Kimmy (Andrea Barber).
The spinoff ran for five seasons, giving fans plenty of laughs, cameos, and nostalgia. But many argued the ending felt rushed, leaving storylines unfinished.
Why Fuller House Deserves One Last Season
So, why bring it back now? Simple: the fans never let go. Social media campaigns, fan petitions, and the continued popularity of the show on streaming platforms kept the Tanner family alive in pop culture.
Netflix may have wrapped things up, but demand for a true farewell season never faded. This upcoming season gives the cast and fans one more chance to say goodbye properly.
Who’s Returning for the Final Season?
The good news? The Tanner-Fuller household will once again be full. Confirmed to return are:
-
Candace Cameron Bure as DJ Tanner-Fuller
-
Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner
-
Andrea Barber as Kimmy Gibbler
-
Michael Campion, Elias Harger, and Soni Nicole Bringas as the kids
-
Plus, plenty of guest appearances from Full House alumni.
While Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen famously never reprised their role as Michelle, fans are crossing their fingers for at least a nod to the youngest Tanner in this final season.
The Storylines That Still Need Closure
The ending of Fuller House left several threads dangling:
-
Stephanie’s Journey as a Mom – Stephanie and Jimmy welcomed a baby in the last season, but fans want to see her navigate motherhood.
-
Kimmy and Fernando’s Relationship – Their quirky love story deserves a proper sendoff.
-
DJ and Steve’s Married Life – Fans rooted for DJ and Steve for decades. Now it’s time to see them as husband and wife.
-
The Tanner Legacy – Will the final season give us a glimpse of the future for DJ’s kids?
Nostalgia Is the Secret Ingredient
Let’s be real — Fuller House works because it mixes heartfelt new stories with heavy doses of nostalgia. Fans tune in not just for the kids, but to see catchphrases, flashbacks, and cameos from their childhood favorites.
Expect the last season to lean heavily into that formula, giving viewers the warm, familiar Tanner magic one last time.
Full House Cast Reunions We Want to See
Could the final season bring everyone together? Fans are hoping for appearances from:
-
Bob Saget (Danny Tanner) in tribute, since his passing left a hole in the franchise.
-
John Stamos (Uncle Jesse) and Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone) for more throwback comedy.
-
A surprise mention (or video cameo) from Michelle Tanner.
Even if everyone can’t return, honoring the original cast is a must for the farewell season.
Fan Reactions: Social Media Explodes
When word spread that Fuller House was coming back, Twitter, TikTok, and Instagram went wild. Fans shared their excitement, with many saying: “This is the ending we always wanted.”
Some even joked that Fullest House should be next, following the kids as adults. Stranger things have happened in TV land.
How Fuller House Shaped Modern Family Sitcoms
While critics didn’t always love it, there’s no denying Fuller House paved the way for other nostalgic revivals like Girl Meets World, That ’90s Show, and Roseanne/The Conners.
The final season isn’t just fan service — it’s part of a bigger cultural trend where audiences crave comfort TV in a chaotic world.
Predictions for the Final Season
So, what might happen in this last run? Here are a few educated guesses:
-
Stephanie finally finds balance as a musician, mom, and partner.
-
DJ and Steve navigate married life with plenty of laughs.
-
Kimmy and Fernando get their happy, wacky ending.

A big family reunion closes the series with a nod to Full House.

Why This Matters: Full House’s Lasting Impact
The fact that people still care this much about the Tanners says everything about the show’s cultural impact. For decades, Full House has taught lessons about family, friendship, and unconditional love.
Fuller House continues that tradition, proving the magic of San Francisco’s most famous family never fades.
The Power of One Last Goodbye
Sometimes, closure matters as much as the story itself. The final season of Fuller House gives fans a chance to celebrate, reflect, and say goodbye to characters they’ve grown up with.
It’s not just another sitcom ending — it’s the end of a 30+ year legacy.
Will This Really Be the End?
While the showrunners are calling it “the last season,” fans know better than to say never. Reboots and revivals are Hollywood’s favorite trick, and who knows? In another decade, we might just get Fullest House.
Until then, this season is the farewell fans have been waiting for.
