    The show starts off with D.J. Tanner, now named Tanner-Fuller after getting married, but now widowed and pregnant. Her lifelong best friend, Kimmy Gibler, moves in to help her care for her two boys and newborn. Lastly, Stephanie Tanner is now an aspiring musician.

    The Full House series aired from 1987 to 1995 and will start up again in 2016 with thirteen spin-off episodes.
