Dave Coulier confirms he will play Uncle Joey again on 'Fuller House'

BEVERLY HILLS , Calif., May 7 (UPI) -- Full House alum Dave Coulier has confirmed he will appear in Fuller House, the Netflix followup to his classic sitcom.

"Yes, I'll be on the Fuller House reunion," the actor tweeted Thursday.

Neflix announced last month it had ordered a 13-episode season of a new multi-camera comedy from Warner Horizon Television, Miller-Boyett Productions and Jeff Franklin Productions. Developed by original Full House creator Jeff Franklin, Fuller House will premiere exclusively across all Netflix territories in 2016.

Original cast members Candace Cameron-Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber are set to reprise their Full House roles of D.J., Stephanie and Kimmy in the sequel series, while John Stamos is to produce the new show and guest star as his Full House character Uncle Jesse. Coulier will once again play Uncle Joey.

"In Fuller House, the adventures that began in 1987 on Full House continue, with veterinarian D.J. Tanner-Fuller pregnant and recently widowed, living in San Francisco," press notes said. "D.J.'s younger sister/aspiring musician Stephanie Tanner and D.J.'s lifelong best friend/fellow single mother Kimmy Gibbler, along with Kimmy's feisty teenage daughter Ramona, all move in to help take care of D.J.'s two boys -- the rebellious 12-year-old J.D. and neurotic 7-year-old Max -- and her soon-to-arrive baby."

Yes, I'll be on the Fuller House reunion. And this guy, Mark Cendrowski will be directing. #cutitout https://t.co/EEPN5JOhdu
