The Full Monty: Disney+ reveals official trailer for new Sheffield-based series

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.

The eight-part series, from the makers of the BAFTA-award-winning movie, will premiere exclusively on Disney+ on Wednesday, June 14 in the UK.

The original film’s screenwriter Simon Beaufoy returns, joined by co-writer Alice Nutter,, with Uberto Pasolini also coming back as executive producer.

Simon has previously said of the series: “It has been one of the great joys of my writing career to reunite this eccentric, irrepressible family of Sheffield men and women and see how 25 years, seven Prime Ministers and 100 broken political promises have affected their lives.”

The trailer sees the lead cast reprising their fan-favourite roles with Robert Carlyle as Gaz, York’s Mark Addy as Dave, Lesley Sharp as Jean, Harrogate-born Hugo Speer as Guy, Paul Barber as Horse, Leeds-born Steve Huison as Lomper, Sheffield’s Wim Snape as Nathan and Tom Wilkinson as Gerald.

The trailer also introduces rising star Talitha Wing, who will play Gaz’s teenage daughter, Destiny Schofield.

Other new cast members joining the ensemble include Paul Clayton as Lomper’s husband, Dennis. Miles Jupp 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 joins as Dilip, Deputy Headteacher at the school.

The original 1997 film is available to stream now on Disney+ in the UK.
