The cast of The Full Monty have reunited for a new original series of the same name, it has been announced.

The British comedy was released in 1997 to critical acclaim. For a time it was the highest grossing film in the UK until it was later outsold by Titanic.

The film follows a group of unemployed men in Sheffield during the 1960s as they decide to form a male striptease act in an attempt to make some money.

Disney+ has announced a new limited series based on the film and featuring the original cast members.

Almost 25 years on from the release of the Bafta award-winning film, Robert Carlyle will return as Gaz, Mark Addy as Dave, Lesley Sharp as Jean, Hugo Speer as Guy, Paul Barber as Horse, Steve Huison as Lomper, Wim Snape as Nathan and Tom Wilkinson as Gerald.

The new series will follow the original group of friends over eight episodes, as they navigate post-industrial Sheffield and the struggles faced by crumbling healthcare, education and employment systems.

In keeping with the original film, the series will explore the brighter, sillier and more humane way forward where communal effort triumphs over adversity.

The new series will also introduce a whole host of new cast members including children and grandchildren of the returning characters.

Writer and executive producer Simon Beaufoy said: “We’re chuffed to bits to get all the Monty Men back together again – now with a chaotic entourage of children, grandchildren, pets and assorted hangers-on – to see what life in Sheffield is like 25 years on.”
