The series has started production already, and the reunion of the cast left actress Candace Cameron Bure so very emotionally overwhelmed that she started crying on the set. "I cried once I saw [John Stamos] on the stage. It got more and more surreal, and it was like I can't believe we're back here. It was just emotional and overwhelming and beautiful," she said.
She even dished about the reboot. DJ did not inherit her father's OCD. Fans will see Kimmy and Stephanie team up, which is surprising considering that they were sworn enemies in the original show. The show will tackle the issues of today like having a cellphone, gadgets, and social media. Of course, the heart of the show will remain the same, adorable kids that fans will love. The famous catchphrases will be back. Steve and DJ will most likely get a second chance. The show has no theme song yet, as of now.
John Stamos posted a few photos on Instagram from the set, and he recently celebrated his 52nd birthday with his fellow cast members.
Fuller House is set to air on Netflix sometime next year.
