As promised, Netflix has released the official Season 2 trailer for Fuller House, the platform’s hit revival of once popular 90s sitcom Full House. The holiday-themed clip touches on the show’s growing yet complicated romantic and family relationships.
Helmed by the show’s original creator Jeff Franklin, the Netflix original series recruits most of the legacy cast to tell the story of the next generation of Tanners. The trailer features everything from a gangster Danny Tanner (Bob Saget) rocking some bling to a surprise Tanner-Gibbler romance. Season 1 is now streaming, with all new episodes premiering exclusively via the platform on December 9.
