Andrea Barber, best known for her role on the hit TV series Full House, will soon reprise that role. Barber, along with Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin will all return in the show’s spinoff, Fuller House, set to air via Netflix in 2016. Bure and Sweetin played D.J. Tanner and her younger sister, Stephanie.
Kimmy Gibbler and D.J. Tanner were best friends on Full House, and the actresses who played them–Andrea Barber and Candace Cameron Bure–are best friends in real life, too. They are very excited to be working together once again.
The two shared their sentiments about the reprisal of their roles after word was released Monday via Netflix that the spinoff is a go.
