LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9 (UPI) -- Fuller House released a first full-length preview Tuesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin and Andrea Barber, who play D.J. Tanner, Stephanie Tanner and Kimmy Gibbler, respectively, were on hand to introduce the trailer.

The preview sees Stephanie and Kimmy come together to support D.J., now a widowed mother of three young sons. Bob Saget also appears as D.J.'s dad Danny Tanner, with John Stamos as Uncle Jesse, Lori Loughlin as Aunt Becky and Dave Coulier as Uncle Joey.
Fuller House is a sequel series to Full House, which had an eight-season run on ABC from 1987 to 1995. The new sitcom will premiere a 13-episode first season Feb. 26 on Netflix.
"I think anyone who follows us on social media knows we've never been apart," Bure told DeGeneres. "We're really great friends. Andrea and I -- everyone thinks it's just D.J. and Kimmy are best friends -- but Andrea and I have always been really close."
"We do keep in touch, though," Barber added. "We have a group chat amongst the cast and everyone has their own Bitmoji, except for John Stamos. He's the only one who doesn't have a Bitmoji and he's mad about it. He's like, 'Why don't I have a cartoon?'"
The trio of actress said they share the Full House legacy with their children by bringing their kids to the Fuller House set. Bure is mother to daughter Natasha and sons Lev and Maksim, while Sweetin is mom to daughters Zoie and Beatrix and Barber to daughter Felicity and son Tate.
