Last night, John Stamos (Or Uncle Jesse as us 90s kids better know him as), went on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and confirmed the “Full House” spinoff, “Fuller House.” Producer and guest star Stamos told Kimmel that Netflix has picked up 13 episodes. The spinoff will center around pregnant DJ Tanner (Candace Cameron Bure), who is recently widowed. Her younger sister Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and childhood best friend Kimmy Gibler (Andrea Barber), along with her teenage daughter Ramona, move in to help DJ raise her two sons, JD and Max. Sound familiar?

“Full House” aired on ABC from 1987 to 1995, and starred Saget as Danny Tanner, father of DJ, Stephanie and Michelle, who was played by both Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. After his wife’s death, his brother in law Jesse, and best friend Joey (Dave Coulier) move in to help raise his daughters.

Negotiations are still ongoing with the rest of the original cast: Bob Saget, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Dave Coulier and Lori Loughlin. When Kimmel asked Stamos about Saget’s return, his response was a simple, “He better..” But, Loughlin told “Access Hollywood Live” she wasn’t sure on their returns, “They made deals with half the cast, but not the other half.” Revealing that neither she, Coulier or Saget have deals, she said, “I think we would all like to come back, if the powers that be are fair to all of us.” As for Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, she said “I honestly don’t know if they want to do it. I’m sure they’re talking to them. I don’t know what’s going on there.”
