Netflix Orders 'Fuller House' Season 2 Less Than a Week After Tanners' TV Return

Less than a week after the Full House revival came out on Netflix, the streaming site has already ordered season 2 of the nostalgia-fest show. While it's still unclear whether the Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley, will actually show up this time around, Fuller House is here to stay for at least one more season, as Candace Cameron Bure's DJ Tanner figures out how to be a single mom.

Despite the fact that the first season got very poor reviews (32% on Rotten Tomatoes and 35% on Metacritic), the company announced Fuller House would be getting a second season through Twitter, simply saying the list would get "even fuller," accompanying the announcement with a video teaser.

Your list will get even fuller.

Seeing how tight-lipped Netflix is about its ratings, it's unclear how successful the show was on the streaming platform, but it's turned into a social media event. Despite poor reviews, the show became worldwide trending on Twitter and Google Trends ever since the announcement last year, and its biggest hook was the fact that nearly the entire original cast came back for the second round, with only the fashionista twins keeping away.

Hopefully, at least one of them will come back to reprise their role in the second season, even if it's just for a few minutes in one episode.

In any case, Variety reports that Jeff Franklin, the creator of Full House and its sequel, recently said he found it "exciting" that the show was on Netflix, saying the only thing he missed from networks was "knowing exactly how many people are watching this thing."

Fuller House follows Cameron Bure's character from the 80's and 90's, DJ Tanner, after her husband dies and she has to raise three boys by herself. Her sister, Steph (Jodie Sweetin) moves back into their father's San Francisco home to help out, as does her best friend from childhood, Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber), in a gender-switched version of the original show, which starred Bob Saget, Dave Coulier and John Stamos.

Since the first 13 episodes of Fuller House only just became available, there are still no schedule for the second season.
