Full House, one of the all-time whitest shows on TV, is adding a biracial character to the cast when it returns for a new generation as Fuller House on Netflix. 

A few new character bios from the nostalgia-fueled spinoff were posted today by TV Line, and by far the most intriguing of the bunch is "Ramona," who apparently doesn't let the Tanners' "white-bread"-ness go unnoticed. 


"Ramona is (presumably Kimmy Gibbler’s) 12/13-year-old daughter. Though she’s bi-racial, Ramona fully embraces her Latina heritage, and considers living with the “white-bread Tanners” to be “totally lame.” She’s described as being smart, but not into school. Instead, her interests include: “boys, fashion, being cool, social media and taking pics every second of every day.” 

There's also going to be DJ's two sons. One is a teenaged "ladies man" musician named Jesse Daniel who takes after Great Uncle Jesse (and, we're assuming, has great hair). Then there's 6 to 7-year-old Max, who "takes tremendous pride in keeping his room tidy, his shirt tucked in and has already mastered the art of hospital corners," which suggests he takes after his grandpa Danny Tanner. 

Also announced today: Uncle Joey, aka the goofy uncle to Uncle Jesse's handsome uncle, will be back in the mix. Dave Coulier announced his return via Instagram.

The show is set to appear on Netflix in 2016. Still no word on whether or not anyone called the Olsen twins yet.
