Fuller House ensembles most of the cast that reprise their roles from Full House or came on as guest appearances, with the exception of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. In fact, the new original series was such a hit that Netflix renewed for a second season of 13 episodes on March 2, 2016 and production for the second season began on May 5, 2016.

Besides Fuller House, Disney Channel watchers caught a glimpse of their children through the sequel Girl Meets World. Based off the series Boy Meets World, the sequel released in 2014 got a lot of hype from Disney lovers.
