Fuller House: Everything We Know About Season 2

Netflix

Netflix's Fuller House is coming back for season two next week, and we're highly anticipating the Tanner family's return. Since last season was packed with nostalgia and hidden references to the original show, we can't wait to see what the writers will come up with this time! Not only do we have a handful of details about the upcoming season, but Candace Cameron-Bure, who plays D.J. Tanner, recently filled POPSUGAR in on what's to come. Keep scrolling for everything we know so far!

01

Who Is Returning

Based on the official announcement from the show's Twitter account, Candace Cameron-Bure, Jodie Sweetin, and Andrea Barber will be back as D.J., Stephanie, and Kimmy, as will D.J. and Kimmy's kids. Cameron-Bure also revealed that the rest of the original cast from Full House will be making a few cameos in season two.

02

People From DJ's Past Will Make an Appearance

TV Line reports that two characters from DJ's younger years are slated to return in season two: Nelson Burkhard (DJ's wealthy ex-boyfriend) and Kathy Santoni (a snooty frenemy from DJ's high school). DJ will encounter these blasts from her past at a high school reunion, where Nelson will still be obnoxious and full of himself as always and a now-pregnant Kathy will continue to hit DJ with a whole bunch of snide comments. The characters were originally played by Jason Marsden and Anne Marie McEvoy, but since Marsden wasn't interested in being on the reboot, Hal Sparks has been cast in his role. Netflix is also recasting Kathy Santoni, but we don't know who will be taking over the part.

03

The Olsen Twins Probably Won't Reprise Their Role as Michelle

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen declined to appear in the first season, and it doesn't seem like they'll change their minds anytime soon. While John Stamos said the two are still "totally welcome" to join, Jodie Sweetin wasn't as hopeful about their return. “We’ve tried everything,” she told ET. “I think we’ve kinda given up.”

04

You Can Expect Plenty of Cameos

Cameron-Bure also revealed that there will be a lot more cameos this season. "Just because season one did so incredibly well, there are a lot of people that are really excited to be a part of this show," she explained. Alan Thicke, who actually costarred with the actress's brother Kirk Cameron in Growing Pains, has already been confirmed as a guest-star.

05

New Kids on the Block Are Guest Starring

It looks like Barber and Cameron-Bure finally got their wish. After the two campaigned for the '90s boy band to make a cameo, the show confirmed the good news on Twitter with a cute picture of the leading ladies rocking NKOTB gear.

06

D.J.'s Former Flame May Return

The season finale may have left D.J. torn between Steve (Scott Weinger) and Matt (John Brotherton), but she might have another man vying for her attention next season. David Lipper, who played D.J.'s boyfriend Viper on Full House in the '90s, told Yahoo TV that production has already contacted him about returning!

07

Steve Has a Girlfriend . . . Who Looks Like D.J.

Candace Cameron Bure revealed to E! News that both of her former love interests will have new girlfriends. While Matt is reportedly with a "hot yoga instructor," Steve will be dating a D.J. clone named C.J.

08

The Kids Will Get More Screen Time

Cameron Bure also was happy to add that those adorable children will be getting more of a storyline this season.

09

We Will Finally Meet Joey's Family

During the first season, fans couldn't help but notice that Joey was wearing a wedding band, and now we know why! TV Line reported that we will finally get to meet Joey's wife, Ginger, when his family crashes Thanksgiving dinner in the sixth episode of season two. While the actress hasn't been revealed yet, Dave Coulier already has the perfect casting suggestion — Elizabeth Berkley. "She's from Saved by the Bell, she was in that movie Showgirls," he told Mashable. "It would make sense that I would go to Vegas and marry a showgirl."

10

Stephanie Is Getting a New Love Interest

While Stephanie had a few flings last season, it sounds like love will be in the air this go around. The show is currently casting the role of Jimmy, a “gifted singer-songwriter” who is both “great-looking” and “sexy," but with a "touch on the weird side.” Sounds like the perfect match for the quirky middle child!

The Release Date

The show debuts on Dec. 9
