The door will soon close for good at Fuller House .

The Netflix sequel to the long-running ABC sitcom Full House will return for a fifth and final season on Friday. And for much of the cast, parting ways is bittersweet.

Candace Cameron Bure , who plays D.J. Tanner-Fuller on the series, said that nearly everyone got emotional when the cast wrapped production in mid-November.

There were so many tears. It was tough, Bure told HuffPost at Build Series . A lot of people say jobs come and go. This particular show is more than a job for us. Its really been more of a family and it has meant more to us than a typical job.

Thats because most of the actors from the original show came back, at least to some extent, when Fuller House launched in 2016. Like Bure, Jodie Sweetin (Stephanie Tanner) and Andrea Barber (Kimmy Gibler) returned as main cast members. Original series stars Bob Saget (Danny Tanner), Dave Coulier (Joey Gladstone) and John Stamos (Jesse Katsopolis) made recurring appearances. Lori Loughlin periodically showed up as Aunt Becky, although she is not expected to appear in the final season given the charges she faces in the college admissions scandal .
