GAC Family Acquires Fuller House; Crown Media Extends Lacey Chabert Partnership

We mentioned on Digest this past Saturday that reruns of Netflix's Fuller House are coming to cable network GAC Family, but now we have more details. GAC Family will start airing the Full House revival series next week on Monday, February 28. GAC Family of course started airing Full House as well as of earlier this month. Fuller House will air five episodes every weeknight from approx. 10pm-1:30am, replacing a block of Who's the Boss?, and airing right after seven episodes of Full House from approx. 6pm-10pm. No other changes are being made to the GAC Family line-up, that we mentioned when Full House started. Fuller House ended on Netflix after 5 seasons (75 episodes) in 2020, but one can wonder if it can be revived on GAC Family and continue the storyline without the late Bob Saget?

Lacey Chabert

Crown Media Family Networks and Lacey Chabert (Mean Girls, The Wedding Veil, Christmas at Castle Hart) have signed an exclusive multi-picture overall deal, the company announced. As part of the deal, Chabert will headline and executive produce movies and develop other content for Hallmark Channel and other Hallmark platforms over the next two years. Chabert is an all-time Crown Media fan favorite, starring in many of Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries' most-watched original movies. Most recently, she developed, executive produced, and starred in The Wedding Veil a new movie trilogy for Hallmark Channel. The first installment, which premiered on January 8, became an instant hit, registering as the 2nd most-watched non-holiday movie among Households and Women 18+ in network history. Premiering this past Sunday, the second installment was the most-watched cable program of the week among Women 18+. Additionally, Chabert also stars in, and executive produces one of Hallmark Movies & Mysteries most popular movie series, Crossword Mysteries. Chabert's history with the networks began with Elevator Girl, her first original movie for Hallmark Channel in 2010. Since that time, she has starred in over 30 original movies across Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries.

Chabert's resume is as extensive as it is versatile. She received her first break in a cough syrup commercial before successfully auditioning for the Broadway production of Les Misérables, in which she played young Cosette for two years. In 1998, she made her feature film debut as Penny Robinson in Lost in Space. Best known for her role as Claudia on the Golden Globe Award(R)-winning Fox television series Party of Five, Chabert has appeared on ABC Family's sitcom Baby Daddy and ABC's daytime drama All My Children, as well as in several made-for-TV movies, including Gypsy starring Bette Midler; A Little Piece of Heaven with Cloris Leachman; and Lifetime's What If God Were the Sun? starring opposite Gena Rowlands.
