"Last but not least - best piece of casting yet. The great @bobsaget will be joining our show on @netflix - this completes the perfect reunion!" he wrote.

Lori Loughlin announced she will reprise Aunt Becky earlier on Good Morning America. She and Saget join Stamos as Uncle Jesse, Candace Cameron Bure as D.J. Tanner, Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner, Andrea Barber as Kimmi Gibbler and Dave Coulier as Uncle Joey.

Fuller House will focus on a widowed and pregnant D.J. as she raises her two sons with the help of sister Stephanie and best friend Kimmi. The series will debut on Netflix in 2016, sans Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as Michelle Tanner.
