John Stamos and Candace Cameron Bure: A Tale of Two Networks
The two biggest sibling figures in the Tanner family have taken starkly different, yet equally successful, paths in the current entertainment landscape. John Stamos, who has always balanced acting with his passion for music, is making a significant move to a major streaming platform.
In 2025, Stamos is set to join the cast of the popular Netflix series The Hunting Wives for its second season, marking a high-profile drama role for the actor known for his comedic timing and heartfelt performances. Outside of acting, his musical career with The Beach Boys continues, as he is slated to join the band as a special guest for select US dates on their “The Sounds of Summer” Tour in the spring of 2025.
Meanwhile, Candace Cameron Bure has cemented her status as a powerhouse in family-friendly content. She serves as the Chief Creative Officer for Great American Family (GAF), where she produces and stars in numerous projects.
Her 2025 slate is packed, including new Christmas movies like Timeless Tidings of Joy and the highly anticipated return of her mystery franchise in Ainsley McGregor Mysteries: A. Bure’s focus on faith-based and wholesome programming has created a distinct and incredibly lucrative niche for her post-Tanner career, often collaborating with her daughter, Natasha Bure, on new projects.
The Olsen Twins' Billion-Dollar Pivot: Fashion Over Fame
The most reclusive members of the original cast, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who famously declined to return for Fuller House, have fully transitioned from child stars to influential figures in high fashion. Their absence from Hollywood has been intentional, allowing them to focus entirely on their luxury fashion brand, The Row.
Unlike their former co-stars who remain in the acting world, the Olsen twins are now known as designers and business moguls. Their dedication to the brand's minimalist aesthetic and high-quality craftsmanship has earned them significant industry recognition.
In a rare public appearance, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen attended the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards in New York City, where they accepted the American Accessory Designer of the Year award for The Row. This event underscored their successful pivot, confirming that their legacy is now defined by the world of fashion, not television sitcoms. They have truly created a unique, private, and successful path away from the public eye that once defined them.
New Beginnings and Enduring Legacies: Sweetin, Coulier, Barber, and Loughlin
The rest of the beloved cast members are also forging new career paths and revisiting past successes in unique ways. Jodie Sweetin, who played Stephanie Tanner, is embracing a new chapter with a focus on her personal story and advocacy.
In a move that allows her to share her truth and voice, Sweetin will narrate a new audiobook edition of her 2009 memoir, unSweetined, which details her struggles with addiction and recovery. She is also starring in the Lifetime original movie Dateless to Dangerous: My Son's Secret Life, demonstrating her continued work in television projects.
Dave Coulier, whose character Joey Gladstone was a comedian, is staying true to his roots. The actor continues to tour the country with his stand-up comedy act, proving his enduring appeal as a comic. Coulier is also active in voice-over work and has been involved in producing and starring in the TV series Live+Local.
Andrea Barber, the unforgettable Kimmy Gibbler, has balanced her acting career with personal pursuits, including marathon running and writing. She continues to collaborate on projects with her former co-stars, including appearances on Great American Family, while also focusing on her writing endeavors and unique projects outside of Hollywood.
Finally, Lori Loughlin, who played Aunt Becky, is making a significant return to mainstream television. Following a period of absence, she is set to star in the new Dick Wolf police drama series On Call, which is slated for a January 2025 streaming release on Amazon Prime. This new cop role marks a fresh direction for the actress. Furthermore, she is expected to return to the popular series When Calls the Heart for its 14th season, reprising her role as Abigail Stanton.
The entire cast remains a tight-knit family, a bond that was poignantly reinforced following the tragic passing of Bob Saget. The "Full House" family continues to support each other's diverse endeavors, carrying on the spirit of love and resilience that defined the show for generations of fans.
