The Tanners are back on the small screen but there’s a twist!

Before Netflix’s 2016 “Full House” revival, Lifetime has unveiled the first look at its upcoming “The Unauthorized Full House Story.”

The cable network has also announced the cast for upcoming behind-the-scenes movie that follows last year’s “Unauthorized Saved By the Bell Story.”

Garrett Brawith (“Rolling”) will play Bob Saget. Justin Mader “(Death Race”) will portray Dave Coulier. “Days of Our Lives’” Justin Gaston has been cast as John Stamos. Stephanie Bennett (“Big Eyes”) will fill the role of Lori Loughlin.

The rest of the main roles will be split to better show the children’s growth from the beginning of the series to the end of its eight-year run.

Shelby Armstrong and Brittney Wilson (“Rogue”) will play the younger and older versions of Candace Cameron. Dakota Guppy (“The Returned”) and Jordyn Olson (“The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story”) will play the younger and older versions of Jodie Sweetin.
