The network is getting out ahead of, and perhaps building on the hype of Netflix’s Fuller House, which will star original Uncle Jesse John Stamos, along with original series stars including Bob Saget, Lori Loughlin, and Dave Coulier. It’s set for a 2016 premiere on Netflix.

The Unauthorized Full House Story is produced by Front Street Pictures and Bay Road Productions. Harvey Kahn (Flowers in the Attic) and Stephen Bulka (The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story) executive produce. Brian K. Roberts (An En Vogue Christmas) directs from a teleplay written by Ron McGee (Rizzoli & Isles).
