_Fuller House_ is moving forward without one very important member of the Tanner family.

**Mary-Kate** and **Ashley Olsen** will not reprise the role they shared as Michelle in the upcoming Netflix revival of the beloved ABC sitcom, _The Hollywood Reporter_ has learned.

“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,” executive producer **Robert L. Boyett** said in a statement. “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. I appreciate their support and good wishes towards _Fuller House._”

The new incarnation will star original cast members **Candace** **Cameron-Bure** (D.J.), her on-screen younger sister, **Jodie Sweetin** (Stephanie), and **Andrea Barber,** who played her best friend, Kimmy Gibbler. **John** **Stamos** will produce and reprise his role as Uncle Jesse in a guest role.**Dave Coulier** will also return as Uncle Joey. Talks are under way to bring back fellow original stars **Bob Saget**and **Lori Loughlin**.

Although much of the original cast is set to return, the Olsen twins’ participation had long been in question. Days after the revival was officially announced on _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ in late April, they said [they had not been made aware of the plan to bring the show](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/olsen-twins-contemplating-full-house-790832) back. However, Stamos subsequently called their claim “bullshit” in a tweet that has since been deleted.

The actresses got their start on _Full House_ when they were just nine months old. They quickly turned their notoriety on the show into an empire of direct-to-video movies and specials under their company, Dualstar Entertainment, which was formed in 1993\. After _Full House_ ended in 1995, they starred on two other TV short-lived series, _Two of a Kind_ and _So Little Time_. In recent years, the Olsens have turned their attention to their two fashion lines, The Row and Elizabeth and James.

Ashley has not acted since an uncredited appearance in 2010’s _I’m Still Here_, and Mary-Kate has not acted since 2011’s _Beastly._

Premiering on Netflix in 2016, the series finds D.J. Tanner-Fuller employed as a vet, pregnant and recently widowed, and living in San Francisco. Stephanie, now an aspiring musician, and single mother Kimmy — along with Kimmy’s feisty teenage daughter, Ramona — all move in to help take care of D.J.’s two boys — the rebellious 12-year-old J.D. and neurotic 7-year-old Max — and her soon-to-arrive baby.

The multicamera comedy hails from Warner Horizon Television, Miller-Boyett Productions and Jeff Franklin Productions. _Full House_ creator Jeff Franklin will return to oversee _Fuller House_ alongside exec producers Boyett and **Thomas L. Miller**. The series originally aired on ABC from 1987 to 1995.
