Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen would officially like you to know that they will not be taking part in the upcoming Full House spin off, that your ’90s nostalgia is lame, and also, that you look tacky today.
When it was announced that Netflix would be bringing back the beloved family sitcom as Fuller House, many had hoped that the twins, who together played wise-cracking toddler Michelle Tanner, would return.
After considering the idea, however, it seems they have decided to pass. A statement released overnight by the producers of Fuller House confirmed as much, crushing your dreams in the process:
“Although Ashley and Mary-Kate will not be a part of Fuller House, I know how much Full House has meant to them and they are still very much considered family…it has been exciting to see how they have built their professional careers, and I support their choice to focus on their fashion brands and various business endeavours. I appreciate their support and good wishes towards Fuller House.”
John Stamos, who is producing the new series, and will reprise his role as Jesse, says he is “heartbroken” at the news that the pair will not be returning, but noted “I understand that they’re in a different place and wish them the best.”
The new series will centre around Candace Cameron Bure‘s D.J. Tanner character, who now has two sons, one of whom is a “teenage ladies-man” who is named after his uncle Jesse. Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber and Dave Coulier are also returning.
Mary-Kate and Ashley are currently working on their fashion careers. The former is dating French banker Olivier Sarkozy, while the latter has been in a relationship with Foxcatcher director Bennett Miller since last year.
Fuller House will debut on Netflix in 2016.
