If the head of Netflix has his way, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen will be on Fuller House and there’s already a potential deal in place.
'Full House' fans were disappointed earlier this year when it became clear that the famed Olsen twins were not planning to join the show's reboot, 'Fuller House.'
“The Olsen twins are teetering whether or not they’ll be around,” Netflix boss Ted Sarandos said Tuesday morning at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills.

His statement gave hope to the fans that 29-year-oldS Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen could still make an appearance. Tedd said that the twins’ refusal to be a part of the Full House spinoff series is way more fiction than fact.
Fans of the former child stars should not hold their breath though, since Ted did add that the twins were "not in the current creative" for the season now in production.
With this status, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have not been written into Fuller House scripts but would be welcomed if they decide to join the show at any point.

Prior to TCA, the duo nixed any involvement in the revival series, with their rep telling Variety that they are focused on their current careers, which includes overseeing their fashion labels.
Also at the time, “Fuller House” exec producer Robert L. Boyett said, “Although Ashley and Mary-Kate will not be a part of ‘Fuller House,’ I know how much ‘Full House’ has meant to them, and they are still very much considered family."
"It has been exciting to see how they have built their professional careers, and I support their choice to focus on their fashion brands and various business endeavors," he added. "I appreciate their support and good wishes toward ‘Fuller House.'”
The famous twin sisters rose to fame playing Michelle Tanner on the family-favorite ’80s and ’90s sitcom, they began their acting career at the age of nine months.
Now, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have a combined net worth estimated at $300 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.
