'Fuller House' Renewed for 5th and Final Season on Netflix
"Fuller House" is opening it doors one last time before boarding up for good.
Netflix has renewed the family sitcom for a fifth and final season, per an announcement via the show's official Twitter. Season 4 of the sequel/spinoff premiered just before the holidays in December.
The cast bid farewell to fans in the announcement video:
"Fuller House" was one of the first shows to capitalize on the nostalgia for '90s classics. In its wake came "Will & Grace" on NBC, "Roseanne" on ABC, and "Murphy Brown" on CBS.
Including the original ABC series (which ran from 1987 to 1995), the franchise will have run for eight total seasons.
Netflix's sequel followed the now-adult DJ Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure), sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin), and best friend Kimmy (Andrea Barber) living together and raising their kids in the familiar Tanner family residence.
Season 4 brought all the original "grown-ups" back to San Francisco: Danny (Bob Saget), Joey (Dave Coulier), Jesse (John Stamos) and Rebecca (Lori Loughlin). In the season finale, Kimmy gave birth to a baby girl, while Stephanie got engaged.
