_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.

## Transcript

It's official, nearly 29 years after it first premiered, Full House will be coming back to TV, and uncle Jesse himself broke the news during his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday night. Five minutes ago they called, they sealed the deal. It's a labor of love, and we've been literally trying for so many years to do it. Right, and I think we've finally got it perfect, and they just five minutes ago said, you can give the exclusive to Jimmy Kimmel, so I've just given it to you. Oh, that's nice. Thank you. I appreciate that. [ APPLAUSE ] Of course, the they John Stamos keeps referring to there is Netflix.

The actor confirmed the company has ordered a brand new, 13 episode season of the classic 90s sitcom. Dubbed, Fuller House, the revival will star veterans Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber. Bob Saget, Mary- Kate and Ashley Olsen, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin are also reportedly in discussions to appear. Stamos told Kimmel Monday, the new season will focus on DJ Tanner and her children, her sister Stephanie Tanner and her kookie neighbor Kimmie Gibbler and don't worry Stamos says Uncle Jesse will make some guest appearances here and there too. According to a statement obtained by several media outlets, Netflix is eager to add Fuller House to its.

TV family. As big fans of the original Full House, we are thrilled to be able to introduce Fuller House's new narrative to existing fans worldwide. And Full House fans are even more thrilled. As a writer for People perfectly put it, have mercy, Full House is officially coming back to TV. But still, not everyone is on board with the reboot, Vanity Fair even called Fuller House, 90's nostalgia gone horribly wrong. Well, like it not, the new season is set to premiere sometime in 2016, as Michelle Tanner once said, you got it, dude.
