Netflix announces 'Fuller House' is coming back for a second season

The Olsen twins have a second chance at returning for Netflix's "Full House" spin-off. The streaming giant just announced a season-two renewal for "Fuller House."

Netflix tweeted out the renewal news early on Wednesday, writing, "Your list will get even fuller."

Created by Jeff Franklin, the comedy stars Candace Cameron-Bure as D.J. Tanner-Fuller, who is left alone with her three young sons after her husband dies. Moving back in to her childhood home, D.J. is joined by her sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and her best friend, Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber), who move in to help D.J. raise her sons.

John Stamos, Bob Saget, Dave Coulier, and Lori Loughlin guest-starred on several episodes. Stamos is also an executive producer for the comedy.

After the news broke, the creator and several cast members celebrated on social media. Franklin thanked Netflix's chief content officer, Ted Sarandos, and the fans for their support.

Sweetin, who earlier on Wednesday confirmed she was joining the next season of ABC's "Dancing with the Stars," celebrated "even more exciting news" and called it "a great day" on Instagram.
