Following John Stamos’ exclusive announcement on Monday’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, Netflix has since confirmed that it will indeed be reviving the cherished family sitcom Full House for a new, 13-epsiode spin-off titled Fuller House.

According to Stamos, who plays Uncle Jesse, the series will kick off as a reunion before switching gears to focus mainly on D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), Steph (Jodie Sweetin), and the always overzealous Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). Series creator Jeff Franklin will captain the relaunch alongside executive producers Robert L. Boyett and Thomas L. Miller.

“The continued support of Full House fans of all ages for the last 28 years has been astounding,” Franklin, Boyett, and Miller said in a joint statement. “It is an honor and a thrill to catch up with these beloved characters and explore their lives today. The love you saw on the show was real. The cast has remained a loving family off screen for all these years. We are as excited as our fans to finally bring Full House back to live.”

Fuller House is slated to arrive sometime in 2016. Let us know if you’re excited in the replies, and catch Stamos’ announcement after the break.
