When she returned to acting decades after Full House ended, it was to feature in the spinoff—Fuller House, which aired from 2016 until 2020.

Where Are They Now: Mathematician, author, Hallmark movie actor
Danica McKellar featured in The Wonder Years, a popular comedy that aired from 1988 until 1993. She was thrown into the spotlight, but she did not maintain her position. Despite her role as Miss Martian in Young Justice, she left Hollywood to pursue a completely different career. McKellar, a University of California alumna, went on to become a mathematician and author of a number of best-selling mathematical publications. Fans of McKellar’s work, however, should not despair, since the actress has returned for a few Hallmark Christmas movies, including Crown for Christmas in 2015 and Coming Home for Christmas in 2017.
