The Second Half of 'Fuller House' Season 5 Is Officially Dropping on June 2
Fuller House fans can rest easy knowing that the series will soon be returning to Netflix for part two of its fifth and final season, regardless of what's going on with actress Lori Loughlin.
The Full House spinoff launched on the streaming service in February 2016. Unlike the '90s show though, Fuller House is centered around the next generation of Tanneritos – D.J. and Stephanie (a.k.a. Candace Cameron Bure and Jodie Sweetin), and D.J.'s always-quirky best friend, Kimmy Gibbler (Andrea Barber). Now, after three years of she-wolf shenanigans and touching storylines, D.J., Stephanie, and Kimmy are getting ready to say goodbye.
How will the story end for the trio? Here's the full scoop on season 5:
Where can I watch Fuller House season 5 episodes?
Because Fuller House is a Netflix series, using your Netflix account (you can sign up here for a free month of the streaming service) is probably your best bet. Otherwise, Fuller House is available for purchase on Youtube, Google Play, and Vudu.
For now, it looks like only seasons 1, 2, 3, and 4 are available on Amazon, but this could change in the coming months.
What are the Netflix release dates for Fuller House season 5?
The first half of Fuller House season 5 dropped on Friday, December 6, 2019. The second half, as recently announced by Candace on Instagram, will come to the streaming service on Tuesday, June 2, 2020.

While it's hard for Candace to say goodbye to the series, she previously told Good Housekeeping that she's walking away with her head held high.
"If I am forever known as D.J. Tanner and everyone's big sister, I will be thrilled and happy," she explained. "Full House and Fuller House have brought so much joy, comfort, and love to so many people. There's nothing more I want to be associated with than wonderful and positive things."
Who is in the Fuller House cast for season 5?
It looks like everyone will be back. That includes — aside from Andrea, Jodie, and Candace — Soni Nicole Bringas (Ramona Gibbler), Michael Campion (Jackson Fuller), Juan Pablo Di Pace (Fernando), Elias Harger (Max Fuller), John Brotherton (Dr. Matt Harmon), and Adam Hagenbuch (Jimmy Gibbler).
And if past seasons taught us anything, it's that more of the original Full House cast will likely also be around for season 5. That means you should expect to see Bob Saget (Danny Tanner), John Stamos (Jesse Katsopolis), and Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone) wreak havoc from time to time, as well.
Was Lori Loughlin fired from Fuller House since being indicted?
First, Lori was dropped from all Hallmark projects following her alleged involvement in the nationwide college admissions scandal. Following in Hallmark's footsteps, Vulture reported that there are “no plans for Loughlin’s beloved character, Aunt Becky, to return in a recurring capacity."
Following months of speculation, Michael broke the news: "It is kind of sad losing a member like that because I didn't think that she wasn't going to be on the show anymore but that was Netflix's decision," he told MEA Worldwide at the 26th Annual Race to Erase MS gala in May. "It is sad and I think that we're going to go on and go on honoring her on the show, she is our family after all."
It's unclear at this point if part 2 of season 5 will address Lori's absence at all.
(To recap: Lori and her husband Mossimo Giannulli were initially charged with conspiracy to commit mail and honest services fraud in 2019. Specifically, court documents noted that the couple agreed to pay bribes of $500,000 in exchange for having their two daughters — Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose — be listed as crew recruits to get them into the University of Southern California. In mid-March of the same year, Lori was released on a $1 million bail bond. In early April, federal prosecutors brought on more charges of money laundering. Then, in October, Lori and Mossimo were slapped with an additional bribery claim from the office of the U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts. If convicted, the couple could allegedly face up to 50 years behind bars.)
Is this really the end of Full House and Fuller House as we know it?
On Netflix, yes, but as Andrea teased to People, she and her other cast members "would be up for a third [reboot]" of the series — that is, if some other network or streaming service would pick up the show.
"Fullest House! [Like] Golden Girls, we'd be the grandmas," Andrea joked.
