Nostalgic millennials everywhere jumped for joy when John Stamos announced the return of the show that made him a star back in the day, and the new Jodie Sweetin "Full House," focused on the two oldest sisters of the Tanner clan, is set to begin shooting sometime soon.
With the "Twin Peaks" remake in the works and Jodie Sweetin's "Full House," there seems to be a new wave of rehashings of beloved and iconic television series, but there's always room for more when it comes to those that hold on to nostalgia.
Food World News has updated step by step how things have gone down for the Jodie Sweetin "Full House" spinoff, from the first rumors all the way to the Olsen twins, who shared the role of Michelle Tanner, being completely unaware that there was a remake in the works after the actor who played uncle Jesse announced the show on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!"
Now, according to The Inquisitr, Jodie Sweetin from "Full House," who played middle sister Steph on the original show, has finally spoken out a little more about what's to be expected of the new Netflix version, after the streaming giant and producer asked for a 13-episode deal.
As Digital Spy reports, the new Jodie Sweetin "Full House" project is basically a gender-twist version of the old show; in it, the grown-up and widowed older sister DJ Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure) will be raising her two boys and another one on the way with the help of her sister Steph and her BFF since childhood Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber).
Stamos, the producer, will be making regular appearances, but it's unknown whether other cast members like the Olsen twins, Bob Saget or Dave Coulier will also come back.
"It will be very similar, certainly, to the first Full House, but we're definitely trying to bring it back as a little more modern take," said Jodie Sweetin about "Full House" remake, according to Web Pro News. "Stephanie has sort of been the wild world traveler, and I'm looking forward to bringing to life Stephanie as she is today and creating a real backstory for her. She's a free spirit, and that will be obvious in the character she's become."
