The "Full House" star Candace Cameron Bure has been entertaining audiences since she
was a child actor.
Her career has been filled with heartwarming stories that have entertained millions.
But what is she up to now?
Keep watching, because Candace Cameron Bure is making a bold career move.
Candace Cameron Bure has been charming television viewers since she was a young child playing
the role of D.J.
Tanner on "Full House."
That series wasn't her first acting gig, but it became perhaps the one she has been most
known for after decades of acting work.
Bure worked steadily as she transitioned from a child actor to someone tackling adult roles,
and she thrilled "Full House" fans by reprising her role of D.J.
for the Netflix series "Fuller House" that ran from 2016 to 2020.
Bure also became a fixture on the Hallmark Channel, appearing in dozens of projects since
initially doing "Moonlight & Mistletoe" in 2008.
She headlined the "Aurora Teagarden Mysteries" series and starred in nearly a dozen Hallmark
Christmas movies.
In 2022 Bure announced that she had decided to move in a new direction, and the move was
a major one.
Candace Cameron Bure is leaving the Hallmark Channel and will take her talents to Great
American Country Media, or GAC [G-A-C].
She will not only star in projects for its channels GAC Family and GAC Living, but she
will develop and produce projects as well.
Bure will reportedly become a company executive who will be involved in selecting and supervising
programming.
In addition, she will be heavily involved in the "Great American Christmas" franchise,
which previously tapped Debbie Matenopoulos [mat-en-OP-oh-lus] and Cameron Mathison for
its first special.
GAC Media has numerous other ties to former Hallmark Channel talent.
The company is run by Bill Abbott, who was previously the CEO of Hallmark Channel's parent
company Crown Media Family Networks.
Actors Danica [DAH-nih-kah] McKellar, Trevor Donovan, and Jen Lilley [LIH-lee] have made
the move from Hallmark to GAC.
And the "When Calls the Heart" spinoff series "When Hope Calls" moved to GAC Family too.
Bure has said of her move,
"I am constantly looking for ways that I can inspire people to live life with purpose.
GAC fits my brand perfectly."
In February, it was announced that "Fuller House" would also begin airing on GAC Family.
The series previously aired only on Netflix, and the GAC Media deal marks the first time
the show will air on a more traditional television station.
After working on more than a dozen films together, Hallmark has expressed its support for the
actor's move to a different outfit.
A spokesperson for the channel is quoted as saying,
"Crown Media has enjoyed over 10 years of collaboration with Candace.
We respect her decision and thank her for her many contributions."
The deal Candace Cameron Bure inked with GAC Media not only opens her up to more acting
opportunities but also offers her a ton of leeway to exercise her creativity, especially
when it comes to developing projects.
CEO Bill Abbott says that part of the reason why they tapped Bure was to strengthen their
family programming, which the actor is a veteran of.
He added,
"I look forward to working together at GAC Media as we further establish our brands as
leaders in quality family programming.
I am truly honored that she has chosen to be a part of and help curate her special brand
of family entertainment here at Great American Channels."
Bure also expressed excitement over the partnership and says her main goal is to develop uplifting
work.
Bure gushed,
"We share a vision of creating compelling wholesome content for an audience who wants
to watch programming for and with the whole family.
Great, quality entertainment with a positive message is what my partnership with GAC is
all about."
Bure has always taken an interest in producing, making this opportunity a logical move for
her career.
She told Forbes in 2020,
"Producing has come quite naturally.
Every time I was on set, I'm always looking at it from a producing point of view...
I realized it was the natural progression for me to go into producing and produce all
the movies that I've done."
