Netflix has ordered a 13-episode season of the new multi-camera comedy. Created by original Full House creator Jeff Franklin, Fuller House will premiere exclusively across all Netflix territories in 2016.

About Full House
Airing for eight seasons and 192 episodes from 1987-1995 on the ABC Television Network in the U.S., Full House was a comedic look at three grown men experiencing the "joys of motherhood" as they raise three girls in San Francisco. Widowed father Danny Tanner (Saget) is dealing with the unique trials and tribulations - and chaos - of being a single parent to daughters D.J. (Cameron-Bure), Stephanie (Sweetin) and Michelle (Mary-Kate/Ashley Olsen). When trying to juggle his career as a local television personality with the responsibilities of being a full-time dad proves to be too much, Danny gets help raising his family from his rock musician brother-in-law Uncle Jesse (Stamos) and the infrequently employed stand-up comedian Joey (Coulier). Andrea Barber also starred as D.J.'s BFF Kimmy Gibbler, with Lori Loughlin as Danny's Wake Up, San Francisco co-host Rebecca, who would eventually date and marry Jesse.
