Variety reports that Netflix and Warner Bros. TV have ended their association with Fuller House showrunner Jeff Franklin after receiving complaints that he was “verbally abusive” and “inappropriate” on set.
Though it’s bleeding content, raising prices, and getting called out for paying some comedians a lot less than other comedians, everything still seems to be going just fine over at Netflix. That’s because it has settled into a surprisingly reliable groove of making semi-terrible original shows and movies that it can…
As part of its overarching philosophy of total transparency, except when it comes to providing actual viewing data, Netflix has shared metrics on a certain subset of its most devoted subscribers, coining a new term for them in the process. If you’ve consumed an entire season of a Netflix show within 24 hours of its…
The group hugs and overgrown family dynamics of Fuller House will return to the smaller screen this fall—Netflix has just announced that the sitcom revival will kick off the first half of its third season on September 22. (We know, how rude of Netflix not to just release the whole season at once.) The mega-Tanner fans…
Netflix handed out the Christmas gift no one really wanted this year by renewing Fuller House during the holiday. And now we learn that present is going to take up more room than we thought. The show’s executive producer Jeff Franklin announced on Instagram that the third season will consist of 18 episodes. The first…
For every bit of Fuller House news that’s broken, there’s been an attendant catchphrase from the original sitcom with which to sum up our reactions. “No way, Jose!” burst from Netflix subscribers’ lips upon hearing that the sequel series was in development, followed by a “how rude” in response to the production’s…
Happy real estate news, Tannerinos: per The Hollywood Reporter, Full and Fuller House creator Jeff Franklin has just purchased the San Francisco house that served as the exterior for the Tanner family’s overstuffed home in his surprisingly durable ’80s and ’90s sitcom. Franklin reportedly purchased the Victorian-style…
With December comes the holiday season, and if you’re looking for a particularly cloying bingewatch to go with all that egg nog, Netflix has you covered. The streaming service will drop the second season of Fuller House December 9. There are also some other options if you don’t want to descend into treacly nostalgia,…
The Tanner clan and their hangers-on are returning for a second season of Fuller House, and in a first trailer is packed with all of the lame punchlines and goofy dance moves you have come to expect from this enterprise. Some revelations contained within: Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber) has a brother, creatively named…
It seems like only yesterday that Fuller House entered our lives to assault us with nostalgia and Olsen twins jokes (okay, so we were the ones behind those). Well, for those that haven’t had their fill of Tanner tenderness, Netflix has announced that the still Mary-Kate and Ashley-less second season will debut on…
Nostalgia’s a hell of a thing, and in the battle between literal reproductions of things you liked as a kid and things devoted to evoking the same feeling as the things you liked as a kid, it seems like Netflix is ready to declare a winner. In the latter corner is Stranger Things, a sci-fi/horror coming-of-age story…
Netflix’s Fuller House will probably never welcome back the littlest Tanner (that is, either of the now 30-year-old twins who portrayed her), as Jodie Sweetin recently revealed that producers would cut it out with the attempts to lure them back. Instead, the show will try to fill that void with a line of guest stars…
When Fuller House beat the odds (and critical assessment) to land a second season order, it also got a second chance to bring Michelle Tanner portrayers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen back into the fold. The twins, who have moved way past their sitcom roots, declined to participate in the first season at all. The show’s…
It’s a well-known industry truth: Netflix doesn’t discuss its ratings. Sure, sometimes it’ll dole out a tidbit or two, reminding us that we’re all a bunch of binge-watching tubs of goo. But the company keeps its actual viewership numbers very quiet. The assumption is that there’s no especially good reason for the…
Everywhere you look, there’s a piece of pop-culture history up for sale. Everywhere you go, an artist is hawking some questionable memorabilia. But when you’re lost out there and you’re all alone, there’s a real-estate listing for a beautiful San Francisco Victorian that was once home to the Tanner brood. That’s…
On The Comics Page, The A.V. Club invites comics artists to illustrate their pop cultural flights of fancy. Starting this week: Lucy Knisley imagines the ’90s TV reboots that haven’t happened (yet).
Riding the wave of ’90s nostalgia that has given their careers new life, Jodie Sweetin (Full House, Fuller House), Beverly Mitchell (7th Heaven), and Christine Lakin (Step by Step) have signed up to play themselves for a new reality show. Called Hollywood Darlings, the show is an “unscripted docu-comedy series” that…
Bob Saget is a noted dirty jokester, a wise sage to the Olsen twins, and a centerpiece cast member of beloved ’80s and ’90s sitcom Full House. Carly Rae Jepsen is an undisputed pop superstar, a multi-platform talent, and the voice behind the re-recorded theme song for Netflix’s Full House sequel, Fuller House. The two…
It’s become customary on late night to ask celebrities who are promoting a project to confront criticism of their work (as well as other less tangible qualities). So when Seth Meyers interviewed John Stamos on Late Night Thursday, it seemed inevitable that they would discuss Fuller House, the sequel series Stamos…
Everywhere you look, there are revivals (of varying quality) of some familiar material, though there’s perhaps none quite as baseless as Netflix’s Fuller House, a sequel series with the same (slightly ghoulish) premise and players of the original that lacks any of its warmth. But, as TV Club’s Joshua Alston notes, if…
