In exciting news for 80s sitcom fans, John Stamos has officially confirmed that Full House will be returning to screens in 2016.
Stamos, who plays Uncle Jesse on the show, revealed the news on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to screams and cheers of delight.
The show, which will be called Fuller House is set to run as a 13-episode series on Netflix and has already signed on cast favourites Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber as well as John Stamos, who will be producing and acting.
