Fuller House producers Warner Brothers Television had previously said that it would not renew Franklin's deal, without explaining why. "We are not renewing Jeff Franklin's production deal and he will no longer be working on Fuller House," read a statement from WBTV.
Franklin's attorney, Stanton "Larry" Stein, says neither he nor his client have been told about what had been said that was deemed offensive.
Besides working on the remake, Franklin was the creator of Full House, the ABC show upon which it was based.
Netflix says that it hopes to go into production for the show's fourth season in the next few months.
Fuller House stars Candace Cameron Bure, Jodie Sweetin, Andrea Barber, Michael Campion, Elias Harger and Soni Nicole Bringas.
