Is the Tanner Family Coming Back Again?
Just when fans thought the Tanner saga had reached its final goodbye, whispers of another revival — a “Fullest House” — started spreading.
After Full House defined the late ’80s and Fuller House brought the family back to Netflix in 2016, fans have been asking: Could there be one more chapter?
Recently, Candace Cameron Bure — who played D.J. Tanner-Fuller — opened up about the idea, and her comments have fans buzzing with hope (and a little nostalgia).
The Evolution of the Tanner Universe
Let’s rewind.
-
Full House (1987–1995): Introduced America to Danny Tanner, his three daughters, and their hilarious extended family.
-
Fuller House (2016–2020): Focused on grown-up D.J., her best friend Kimmy Gibbler, and sister Stephanie as they raised the next generation under one roof.
Now, with nearly five years since the Netflix reboot ended, fans are already chanting for the next iteration — Fullest House.
Candace Cameron Bure Opens Up About the Idea
During a recent podcast interview, Bure was asked if she’d be interested in returning for another reboot. Her response?
“Never say never! We love the Tanners, and we love that fans still care. If the timing and story were right, I’d totally be open to it.”
That one comment was enough to send the fandom into overdrive.
What Would “Fullest House” Even Look Like?
If Full House was about a widowed dad raising kids and Fuller House was about a widowed mom doing the same, then Fullest House could focus on — you guessed it — the next generation.
Imagine D.J.’s sons growing up and starting families of their own, still guided by Tanner wisdom and plenty of cheesy one-liners.
Bure even joked:
“Maybe by then, I’ll be Grandma D.J. handing out hugs and cookies instead of curfews!”
Jodie Sweetin Is Also Interested
Bure isn’t the only one open to another reunion. Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) told reporters:
“If they called tomorrow and said we’re doing Fullest House, I’d pack my bags. That family means everything to me.”
Her enthusiasm shows that, while the cast has moved on to new projects, their love for the Tanners hasn’t faded.
Andrea Barber Says There’s Still More to Tell
Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibbler) also chimed in during a fan Q&A:
“There’s always another story in that house. We could make a show about Kimmy’s daughter Ramona growing up or even the grandkids!”
Barber added that the best part of Fuller House was watching how fans from multiple generations connected over shared nostalgia.
Fans Are Begging for It
Social media is already filled with fan-made posters and speculative titles like Fullest House: The Next Generation.
Tweets like:
“Netflix, if you bring back Fullest House, I’ll watch it faster than Kimmy Gibbler crashes a party!”
The response shows just how deeply fans still care about this fictional San Francisco family.
Would Netflix Say Yes?
That’s the big question.
Netflix ended Fuller House in 2020 after five seasons, citing creative closure rather than ratings issues. The finale wrapped up on a high note — a triple wedding and a new baby on the way.
Still, the series performed consistently well and remained one of Netflix’s most-streamed sitcoms during its run. So, the door isn’t completely closed.
Timing Could Be Everything
Right now, many Fuller House stars are focused on other projects:
-
Candace Cameron Bure runs a faith-based production company.
-
Jodie Sweetin co-hosts a podcast and works in indie television.
-
Andrea Barber writes and tours as an author and speaker.
But as Barber said, “If the call came, we’d all come running back home.”
Remembering Bob Saget’s Legacy
Any potential Fullest House revival would, of course, need to honor Bob Saget, who passed away in 2022.
Bure shared that if a new version ever happened, it would have to “honor Danny Tanner’s memory in a beautiful way.”
She added, “Bob would’ve been the first to say, ‘Do it! Keep it going. Just make people laugh.’”
How Fans Imagine a ‘Fullest House’ Storyline
Online fan theories have been hilarious and heartwarming:
-
Theory 1: D.J.’s kids take over the family home and raise their own children there.
-
Theory 2: Kimmy opens a wacky San Francisco bakery, and the family reunites to help her.
-
Theory 3: The original Tanner kids become grandparents and rediscover their childhood chaos.
No matter the plot, everyone agrees on one thing — it has to bring back the heart, humor, and hugs that made the Tanners iconic.
The Magic Formula Still Works
What makes Full House and Fuller House special isn’t just the laughs — it’s the message.
Family, forgiveness, and unconditional love never go out of style. And that’s exactly why fans believe Fullest House could work today.
It’s nostalgia, comfort, and comedy all rolled into one big family hug.
Could It Actually Happen?
Realistically, it might take a few years — and the right story — for it to come together. But as Full House fans know, stranger things have happened in San Francisco.
After all, nobody thought we’d ever see Fuller House — and yet it brought millions of viewers (and happy tears) worldwide.
So maybe, just maybe, Fullest House isn’t such a far-fetched dream.
Conclusion: The Door Is Still Open
Whether it’s in five years or fifteen, the Tanner story doesn’t feel truly over.
Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber have all said it best — Full House isn’t just a show. It’s family.
And as any Tanner would say, “You never say goodbye to family — you just say, ‘See you soon.’”
