What To Know

  • Candace Cameron Bure expressed enthusiasm for a potential third iteration of Full House.
  • She reflected on the enduring legacy of Full House and its spinoff Fuller House.
  • Bure emphasized her gratitude for being part of a series that has remained meaningful to fans for over 35 years.

Full House star Candace Cameron Bure recently addressed the possibility of another reboot.

In a Woman’s World article published on August 27,  the former child actress who played D.J. Tanner weighed in on whether the ’90s sitcom could make a second comeback.

“Honestly, I would love to do the third iteration of Full House, like Fullest House or something,” she admitted. “That would be the dream.”

Full House aired for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995. In 2016, the Netflix spinoff Fuller House premiered, and it aired for five seasons until 2020.

The spinoff followed DJ moving back into the family home with her three sons after her husband’s death. With help from her sister, Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin), and her best friend, Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber), the single mom finds her way after loss. This echoed the situation with her father, Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), with his three daughters, brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos), and friend Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier).

“It’s been a dream to have been a part of a show that has a real, true legacy. It’s never been off the air in over 35 years,” Cameron Bure, 50, pointed out. “Full House means so much to so many people. I was on the show from [age] 10 to 18, and you never know how something’s gonna go and what it’s gonna mean to people. So when I look back, I have so much appreciation.”

The Great American Family star continued, “I love that I was chosen to play D.J., and then we got to continue that legacy with Fuller House, and it’s just a huge, special part of my life that still lives on. There’s always new fans and new generations that watch both of the shows, and it means a ton to me.”

In addition to the aforementioned cast, Full House starred Lori Loughlin as Rebececca “Becky” Donaldson and  Mary-Kate Olsen and Ashley Olsen as Michelle Tanner. Fuller House also featured newcomers Michael Campion, Elias Harger, Soni Bringas, Dashiell Messitt and Fox Messitt, Juan Pablo Di Pace, John Brotherton, and Adam Hagenbuch. Scott Weinger also reprised his role as Steve.

    Excited one 🤗

    I think it would be great to come back with a Fullest House, who wouldn’t love that!

    Candace Cameron-Bure is a negative in my book. She stopped filming with Hallmark of all places because they had movies with gay characters. You sure you want to promote this kind of bigotry? I am sure the network has had gay characters in previous shows. Has she finally realized everyone is avoiding her and her “Christian” beliefs are getting in the way? Has anyone told her judgments of others isn’t Christ-like? Being around gay people won’t make you gay. When I look at her I no longer see pretty.
