Following the events at the end of season four, how will the Fuller household operate with even more people living under the same roof? Happily, fans of the Fuller House TV show will get to find out in season five of the family comedy series.

A Netflix sitcom, Fuller House stars Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, Michael Campion, Elias Harger, Soni Nicole Bringas, John Brotherton, Ashley Liao, Juan Pablo di Pace, Scott Weinger, Adam Hagenbuch, Dashiell Messitt, and Fox Messitt. John Stamos, Dave Coulier, Bob Saget, and Lori Loughlin recur. A sequel to Full House (which ran for eight seasons and 192 episodes on ABC), this family sitcom centers on widowed mother and veterinarian, D.J. Tanner-Fuller (Cameron Bure) and her three sons; her sister Stephanie Tanner (Sweetin); friend Kimmy Gibbler (Barber) and her daughter.

Though there was reportedly some concerns that Fuller House might be cancelled, inside sources have confirmed (exclusively) that the Netflix series has been renewed for a fifth season.

While it’s unclear how many episodes have been ordered this time around (seasons one, two, and four had 13 episodes each while season three had 18 installments), sources say that production is expected to begin in the spring. Seasons two, 3B, and four all launched in December so I suspect the fifth season will follow suit. We’ll report additional details about season five once we have them.

What do you think? Do you like the Fuller House TV show? Are you glad that the series will be returning for a fifth season? How long should this sequel sitcom run?
