Disney has released the first trailer for the upcoming Searchlight Pictures series, “The Full Monty”, which is going to be released on Hulu and FX in the United States and on Disney+ in the United Kingdom and Ireland on June 14th 2023.  Expect the series to also be released on Disney+ around the world.

Taking place 25 years after the original British smash hit, the new series will follow the same band of brothers as they navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield, and society’s crumbling healthcare, education, and employment sectors. The comedy-drama will uncover what happened to the gang after they put their kit back on, exploring their brighter, sillier and more desperate moments. It will also highlight how the fiercely funny world of these working-class heroes – still residing in Sheffield – has changed in the intervening decades.

Check out the trailer below:

The original movie’s Oscar-winning screenwriter Simon Beaufoy returns and is joined by co-writer Alice Nutter (“Accused”), with Uberto Pasolini (“Nowhere Special”) also coming back as executive producer.

The cast include Robert Carlyle (“Trainspotting”, “Once Upon A Time”) as Gaz, Mark Addy (“Game of Thrones”, “A Knight’s Tale”) as Dave, Lesley Sharp (“Before We Die”, “Scott and Bailey”) as Jean, Hugo Speer (“Britannia”, “Shadow and Bone”) as Guy, Paul Barber (“The Dumping Ground”, “Gloves Off”) as Horse, Steve Huison (“The Royle Family”, “The Navigators”) as Lomper, Wim Snape (“The Beaker Girls”, “Gentleman Jack”) as Nathan and Tom Wilkinson (“Batman Begins”, “Michael Clayton”) as Gerald.

Other new cast members joining the ensemble include Paul Clayton (“The Crown”, “The Split”) as Lomper’s husband, Dennis. Miles Jupp (“Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?”, “The Durrells”) stars as recent divorcee and housing officer Darren, who looks up to the Monty men for advice on navigating adult life. Sophie Stanton plays Hetty, a colleague and friend of Jean, and Phillip Rhys Chaudhary (“Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists”) joins as Dilip, Deputy Headteacher at the school. Newcomers Dominic Sharkey and Natalie Davies appear as Destiny’s mates Cal and Tabani respectively, alongside Arnold Oceng, who plays a talented graffiti artist. Aiden Cook stars as wise-cracking twelve-year-old “Twiglet”, while Tupele Dorgu (“Alma’s Not Normal”) portrays Destiny’s mother, Yaz.
