‘Full House’ Cast Then & Now

‘Full House’ Cast Then & Now — It’s been 34 years since ‘Full House’ made its debut on September 22, 1987, and audiences fell in love with the Tanner family. The stories of Danny, Joey, and Jesse as they raised Danny’s daughters — D.J., Stephanie, and Michelle — captivated audiences and made them laugh and cry in equal amounts. Although the original series concluded in 1995, it wouldn’t be the last time fans would see the Tanners.

In 2016, the cast reunited for ‘Fuller House,’ a follow-up series on Netflix. The show followed D.J. and Stephanie Tanner and their childhood neighbor Kimmy Gibler as they raised their kids in the home they grew up in. The series harkened back to the original show with ease, and reunited the cast — save for Ashley and Mary Kate Olsen.

The reboot series came to an end in June 2020, but with the 34th anniversary of the original show, what better time to look back at the Tanner family. Scroll through our gallery to see photos of the cast then and now.
