‘Fuller House’ Season 5 Begins Production Sans Lori Loughlin
The cast of Fuller House is back at work, posting photos on Instagram of their return for the fifth and final season. Of course, nowhere to be seen is Lori Loughlin (Aunt Becky), who is not expected to return following her indictment in the elite college admissions fraud scheme.
“We’re baaaaaack!” wrote Jodie Sweetin, who plays Stephanie Tanner on the Netflix revival. “Season 5 table read today and back to rehearsal next week! Woo hoo!! #fullhousefamily #season5 #fullerhouse #sogoodtobeback.”
