Lifetime

Lifetime will go behind-the-scenes of the popular 80s comedy.

The movie covers the family comedy's 1987 launch as it became one of TV's most-watched comedies of its 192-episode run. It will portray the pressures the actors faced in balancing their television personas with their real lives.

Original Full House Cast

ABC

The original cast of ABC's "Full House."

Lifetime isn't the only TV company to look to "Full House" for new programming. Netflix is currently producing a "Full House" spinoff titled "Fuller House." It centers on D.J. Tanner (Cameron) who finds herself widowed with two young boys and a third child on the way. She will co-star with TV sister Jodie Sweetin and onscreen bestie Andrea Barber.

Of the original cast members, only Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are the only ones who won't be returning.

The last time Lifetime went behind the scenes of a TV show was last year's "Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story," which premiered to a low 1.6 million viewers.

"The Unauthorized Full House Story" premiers Saturday, August 22 at 8 p.m. on Lifetime.
