Another key character of "Full House" will be back for the Netflix revival. John Stamos confirmed via Twitter on Thursday, May 28 that his co-star Bob Saget had signed up to reprise his role as Danny Tanner on the new series, "Fuller House".
"Last but not least-best piece of casting yet. The great @bobsaget will be joining our show on @netfilx - this completes the perfect reunon!" so Stamos tweeted. Correcting the typo he made in earlier tweet, he added later, "oh and REUNION - sorry i'm tired - been a long day - and let's not be so picky - you want perfect spelling- follow Oprah."
Saget is the latest original actor on board the Netflix revival. He joins Lori Loughlin, Candace Cameron-Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber and Dave Coulier in addition to Stamos himself.
"Fuller House" will focus on DJ Tanner (Cameron-Bure) and her three kids, along with her sister Stephanie (Sweetin) and neighbor Kimmy Gibbler (Barber). Employed as a vet, pregnant and recently widowed, and living in San Francisco, Tanner asks her best friend Kimmy and her sister Stephanie to come help her raise her kids. It will be preceded by a one-hour reunion.
Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen, who collectively played Michelle Tanner on the original series, have been confirmed not to return for the spin-off, which is slated to debut in 2016.
