Why Fuller House Season 6 Needs to Happen

The Unanswered Questions

Fuller House season 6 needs to happen. The Fuller House series finale ended on a high note, but it left several questions that may never be answered. Netflix's sequel to Full House came to an end as the Tanner-Fuller family closed its doors once again after five seasons. The Fuller House season 5 finale saw DJ Tanner-Fuller, Stephanie, and Kimmy Gibbler start their new lives together after they got married to the respective love of their lives. Its final episode was full of cameos, making the triple wedding at the famed San Francisco home much more special.

The Unanswered Questions

Despite its well-crafted send-off, it's no secret that Netflix pulled the plug on Fuller House earlier than expected. While the cast was thankful for the five seasons that they were able to return, they were also vocal about saving some plot lines for the potential season 6, fully convinced that the streamer would give them at least one more year. That being said, that wasn't the case as Fuller House was canceled with season 5 being split into two parts.

The Fuller House series finale saw the triple wedding of DJ, Stephanie, and Kimmy to Steve, Jimmy, and Fernando, respectively. The festivities gave the Tanners something to celebrate and a reason to gather, with the event also functioning as a reunion for the clan's relatives and friends. The next morning, it was revealed that Stephanie was pregnant, which was good news. However, it raised questions about how this was possible, considering that she was previously deemed physically incapable of doing so. It was the reason why Kimmy offered to be her surrogate.

Family Dynamics and Storylines

Fuller House's wedding was a bittersweet moment for the She-Wolf Pack as Stephanie and Kimmy decided to move out of the Tanner family home after they all got married. Kimmy and Fernando were supposed to relocate to Palo Alto, while Jimmy and Stephanie wanted to move closer to the original location of Uncle Monty's to keep an eye on that branch. The farewells the next morning were emotional, but Kimmy and Stephanie walked back on their plan at the last minute, meaning they continued to live all together under one roof. Granted that the San Francisco home was massive, it's curious how exactly that many people will fit in the house.

DJ reconnecting with his first love, Steve was one of the most emotional moments in Fuller House. Had the pair not ended up together, it's easy to imagine the backlash that the show would have gotten. While it was clear that they were meant to be with each other, their plans beyond the wedding were unclear, including whether they planned on having their own kids. For context, DJ already had three from her previous marriage, but Steve didn't.

Debuting in Full House season 5, Nicky and Alex's introduction came at a point where Michelle was old enough to become a big sister figure to her cousins. Jesse and Becky's sons returned in Fuller House, but instead of the bright boys that they were, they were portrayed as dense and lazy. Like their mother, they weren't in attendance during the finale's triple wedding, although Jesse was there. The Netflix series didn't give any explanation for their absence.

Fan-favorite character Aunt Becky didn't return in Fuller House season 5 despite being an integral player in the early years of the spin-off. Her absence was due to Lori Loughlin's involvement in the college admissions bribery case, causing Netflix to fire her. The show came up with the explanation that she went back to Nebraska for some undisclosed reason and was never revisited again. Considering how important that triple wedding in the Fuller House finale was, however, it's curious what she was doing back home that he couldn't attend the celebration.

Michelle, the younger Tanner sister never made any appearance in Fuller House after Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen refused to reprise their Full House role. For context, the twins have long moved on from acting and have opted to keep a low profile despite being massive fashion moguls. Throughout the spin-off sequel's run, there were references to the character, revealing that is now based in New York. That being said, it's still odd that Michelle never once came back home — not when DJ lost her husband, not when Danny suffered a mid-life crisis, and not even when both of her sisters got married at the same time.

When Fuller House started, Danny was married to Teri. Not much was revealed about the character, and she only made an appearance once. Eventually, they got secretly divorced by season 3, although the reason was unclear. Eventually, Fuller House brought back Danny's ex-fiancee, Vicky Larson, who also attended the triple wedding. The former lovers seemed like they still had feelings for each other, but the Full House spin-off left their fate in limbo.
