Have mercy! Lifetime is taking on "Full House."
The network has given the green light to make "The Unauthorized Full House Story," a tell-all TV movie about the lives of the show's stars off camera.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the movie "will look at the rise of the cast - including John Stamos, Bob Saget and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen - and explore the pressure they faced to balance idyllic family life on the show with the more complicated reality of their own lives outside the series. Additionally, it will look at the warm bond that grew between the cast as the show became one of America's most beloved family sitcoms."
The movie, based on the popular television show which aired from 1987-1995, will come from the same team behind Lifetime's 2014 movie "The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story" - including executive producers Harvey Kahn and Stephen Bulka and writer Ron McGee.
Casting is reportedly set to begin immediately, but no premiere date has been set yet.
Stamos, who played fan-favorite Uncle Jesse, tweeted his opinion about Lifetime's upcoming project writing, "Full House TV movie on @lifetimetv?? Hmmmm-yeah right, good luck with that."
The news comes just one week after it was announced that a "Full House" spin-off is coming to Netflix with a 13-episode order for its first season.
The spin-off titled "Fuller House" will focus on D.J. Tanner, played by Candace Cameron-Bure, and her three kids. Along for the ride are her sister Stephanie, played by Jodie Sweetin, and neighbor Kimmy Gibbler, played Andrea Barber. Several original cast members are expected to make cameos on the show.
