The Olsen twins Mary Kate and Ashley is swaying on whether to join the Full House spinoff in the television at Netflix or not. Is there any chance that the precocious youngest child Michelle Tanner will be back in the reboot?

After several months of rumors about the Tanner family of Full House returning to TV has been ramping fans, the beloved '90s sitcom's reboot is finally shaping up. After two decades of being off the air, the Full House is officially going back as Fuller House.

In the early part of the Fuller House spinoff confirmation, one notable exception was that Mary-Kate and Ashley will not reprise their role as Michelle. But in Tuesday morning at the Television Critics Association press tour in Beverly Hills, Netflix head of content acquisition Ted Sarandos gave a statement on Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen's possible reunion with the Full House casts.

Sarandos said: "The Olsen twins are teetering whether or not they'll be around."

The twin sisters rose to fame playing and sharing the role of Michelle Tanner the youngest daughter in San Francisco's favorite family from 1987 to 1995. Prior to the Television Critics Association press tour, the duo nixed any involvement in the revival series, with their representative telling Variety that they are focused on their current careers, which includes overseeing their fashion labels.

After the session, Ted Sarandos added: "There's a bunch of stunt [casting] opportunities with them for the future if they want to."

While the Olsen twins' involvement is still unclear, much of the show's original cast is confirmed in the reboot. The sitcom is now filming and confirmed cast members include Candace Cameron Bure as D.J., Jodie Sweetin as middle sister Stephanie and Andrea Barber, who played Kimmy Gibbler.

John Stamos is set to produce while at the same time reprising his role as Uncle Jesse in a guest role. Dave Coulier will also return as Uncle Joey. Lori Loughlin had confirmed her role in the reboot, as well as Bob Saget.
