The Full Monty Series Set for Disney+, Hulu Series

The cast and creators of the hit 1997 British film The Full Monty are set to reunite for a limited series that will premiere on Disney+ globally, Star+ in Latin America and Hulu in the U.S.

The British original, which comes almost 25 years since the release of the beloved BAFTA Award-winning film, will follow the original cast of characters as they navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield. Robert Carlyle, Mark Addy, Lesley Sharp, Hugo Speer, Paul Barber, Steve Huison, Wim Snape and Tom Wilkinson are set to return. The eight-party comedy-drama also reunites screenwriter Simon Beaufoy and producer Uberto Pasolini.

Beaufoy, creator, writer and executive producer, commented: “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.”

Lee Mason, director of scripted content for EMEA at Disney, added: “Twenty-five years ago Simon introduced us to a group of funny, fearless and resilient unemployed working-class men from Sheffield and the world fell in love with them. We’re delighted to reunite the original cast for this brand-new series on Disney+ to catch up with these iconic characters and what they’ve been up to since we last saw them on stage in all their glory, and we can’t wait to introduce a host of exciting new faces and characters.”

Developed by Searchlight Television and FX, The Full Monty series will be produced by Little Island Productions.
