On June 14, 2023, the day the eight-part series will debut on Hulu in the United States and on Disney+ in the United Kingdom, Disney has announced that the much-awaited, brand-new Original series The Full Monty will start streaming on Disney+ in Canada.
The 8 60 series, which takes place 25 years after the original British smash hit, will follow the same group of brothers as they negotiate Sheffield, a post-industrial metropolis, and the failing healthcare, education, and jobs sectors of society.
The comedy-drama will explore the gang’s happier, sillier, and more desperate times as it reveals what happened to them after they put their outfit back on. Additionally, it will show how, throughout the years, the fiercely humorous world of these working-class heroes who still call Sheffield home has evolved.
The ACADEMY AWARD-winning screenwriter of the first film, Simon Beaufoy, is back, together with co-writer Alice Nutter (Accused), and executive producer Uberto Pasolini (Nowhere Special).
