Fuller House (TV series)
American television sitcom
Fuller House is an American sitcom created by Jeff Franklin and produced by Warner Bros. Television Group that aired as a Netflix original series as the sequel to the ABC television series Full House, which ran from 1987 to 1995. It centers around D.J. Tanner-Fuller, a veterinarian and widowed mother of three sons, whose sister Stephanie and best friend Kimmy—along with her teenage daughter—live together at the Tanners' childhood home in San Francisco, California. Most of the original series ensemble cast reprised their roles on Fuller House, either as regular cast members or in guest appearances, with the exception of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, both of whom shared the role of Michelle Tanner in Full House.
Netflix ordered an initial thirteen episodes, which were released on February 26, 2016, worldwide. The second season was released on December 9, 2016. The third season was split into two parts, with the first half of nine episodes being released on September 22, 2017, and the second half on December 22, 2017. On January 29, 2018, Netflix renewed Fuller House for a fourth season, which was released on December 14, 2018.
While the first season reception was generally negative, reviews for the following seasons improved but were still generally mixed. On January 31, 2019, the show was renewed for its fifth and final season of eighteen episodes.

Why this record matters
The phrase “american television sitcom” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20714712. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1987, 1995, 2016 and 2017.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
