Everything We Know About ‘Fuller House’ Season Two

We’re a month away from one of the biggest premieres of this winter — the return of Fuller House. Though the series was largely panned by critics, Netflix’s reboot of the classic ’90s sitcom was a hit with fans, and we know you want to know more.

Can you expect to finally see the Olsen twins? What’s going on in DJ’s love life? How many holiday specials can you expect? Will there be more dancing? (Yes. Always.) You have questions, and we have answers and trivia aplenty. Here’s your cheat sheet to everything we know about Season Two so far.

When Will Season Two Premiere?

You���ll be reunited with the Tanners and Gibblers on Friday, December 9 at 3 a.m. ET / 12 a.m. PT. That’s just enough time to start your holiday season off with some family-focused cheer. Also, the early December release date means you have enough time to binge the series when it premieres, forget about it in the following weeks, and re-binge with your family at the end of the month. It’s a win-win.

Will Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen Be In Season Two?

Probably not, so kiss those reunion dreams goodbye. In August, Jodie Sweetin revealed that the Fuller House stars and crew tried everything they could think of to get Michelle Tanner back on the series, but the Olsens aren’t jumping. “I think we’ve kinda given up,” Sweetin said. Sorry friends.

Stephanie Will Find A Gibbler She Likes

Fuller House’s Season Two trailer had one of the most shocking revelations in Full House history — Stephanie Tanner (Jodie Sweetin) not just tolerating a Gibbler but kissing one. The Gibbler in question wasn’t Kimmy (Andrea Barber), who kissed her BFF DJ (Candace Cameron Bure) last season, but Kimmy’s brother Jimmy. Jimmy is played by Adam Hagenbuch, who’s probably best known for his roles in Switched at Birth, Undateable, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. The season hasn’t started and already this mysterious brother has promised to add a lot more drama to our picture-perfect San Francisco home.

DJ’s Love Triangle Is Now More Like A Dot

The big drama of Season One had everything to do with DJ’s love life. Should she pick the loyal man from her past, Steve (Scott Weinger), or the charming new doctor, Matt (John Brotherton)? However, in the show’s Season Two trailer, it was revealed that both men have girlfriends. Basically that entire season was a joke-laden, love-triangle build up to the revelation that the recently widowed DJ is even more alone than she thought. Ha?

There’s Definitely Going To Be A Christmas Special

The Season Two trailer contained multiple scenes of Tanners and Gibblers covered in lights and wreaths, so you can rest assured you’ll have at least one new Christmas special to look forward to on Netflix. I’m sure it’s no A Very Murray Christmas, but the Fuller House special should be fun.

The Season Two trailer also made it look like we can expect a New Year’s special, a Halloween special, and, if the phrase “she-turkey” means anything, a Thanksgiving special.

New Kids On The Block Will Be Making An Appearance

This news comes from both the trailer and Twitter. Soni Nicole Bringas, the young actress behind Ramona Gibbler and one of the shining lights of the series, tweeted out her excitement over having the grown-up boy band on set:

You may remember that Season One had its share of celebrity guest stars including almost every member of the original series, Dancing with the Stars’ Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Val Chmerkovskiy, and Macy Gray. It looks like Season Two intends to carry on this tradition.

Gia Will Also Be In Season Two

In case you weren’t a die-hard Full House fan, Gia, played Marla Sokoloff, was the series’ resident bad teen. She was the one who pressured our girls to smoke in the school bathroom, so you know she’s bad news. Who knows what PG horrors this troublemaker will bring in Season Two, but we’re going to find out.

Dave Coulier Will Be Directing A Season Two Episode

That’s right; Uncle Joey is putting down Mr. Woodchuck and picking up a camera. It hasn’t been revealed which episode Coulier will be directing, but it will be the actor and comedian’s directorial debut. Maybe Coulier will pull a reverse Mr. Robot and direct a darkly stylized dramatic episode.

Will There Be A Season Three?

According to the show’s creator Jeff Franklin, Netflix is holding out on a Season Three order until it sees how Season Two performs:

But let’s be real for a second — regardless if you loved or hated Fuller House, the reboot was a runaway hit for Netflix. It’s often counted as one of their most successful original series, and there’s no way it takes much money to make. Netflix just happily dropped $120 million on The Crown and $120 million on The Get Down. Sure, Fuller House has some recognizable names, but between its traditional sets and the show’s typical sitcom format, the series can’t cost too much to make when it comes to Netflix money. If the critically praised but costly Bloodline gets three seasons, I feel fairly confident Fuller House will be getting a renewal.

Season Two of Fuller House premieres on Friday, December 9 at 3 a.m. ET / 12 a.m. PT.
