Disney+ has given a first look into its reboot of 90s comedy film The Full Monty.

We’re getting a first look at FX’s The Full Monty, the eight-part follow-up to the BAFTA-winning movie. FX has released some of the first images from the series that will premiere in June (date TBA) and stream exclusively in the U.S. on Hulu.

Scottish actor Robert Carlyle gave his backing to a real-life Full Monty show in aid of children suffering from a rare illness. The actor helped support the fundraiser in Sheffield where a group of men stripped off to raise funds for research into mitochondrial disease - a progressive and life-limiting illness.

Robert Carlyle has been pictured for the first time on set for the new Disney+ Full Monty TV series. The actor, who plays Gaz Schofield in the 1997 British comedy, was spotted filming on location in Manchester where he reunited with other original cast members Paul Barber, who played Horse, and Steve Huison, better known as Lomper. Robert, 69, was captured walking down the street sporting a Sheffield United football shirt with a denim jacket and grey jeans.

The Full Monty is set to get a new TV reboot on Disney+, with the film’s original cast returning for the series.The original hit film was released in 1997, and follows a group of unemployed men in Sheffield who start a striptease act to raise money.Disney has now confirmed that the new eight-episode limited series will catch up with the group 25 years later, bringing back stars Robert Carlyle (Gaz), Mark Addy (Dave), Lesley Sharp (Jean), Hugo Speer (Guy), Paul Barber (Horse), Steve Huison (Lomper), Wim Snape (Nathan) and Tom Wilkinson (Gerald).While specific plot details have not yet been revealed, the show will see the group “navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield and society’s crumbling healthcare, education and employment sectors.“The series will explore the brighter, sillier and more humane way forward where communal effort can still triumph over adversity,” the synopsis adds.The series will also bring in the character’s children and grandchildren, with original screenwriter Simon Beaufoy overseeing proceedings.“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 twenty-five years on,” he said.The Full Monty has just begun production in Sheffield and Manchester, and will stream on Disney+ in the U.K. and globally, and Hulu in the U.S..

The original cast of The Full Monty have reunited for a new Disney+ series, 25 years after the hit film debuted. The new limited series is based on the iconic 1997 film and will follow the original band of brothers as they struggle to find their place in the post-industrial city of Sheffield.The city’s healthcare is crumbling, along with education and employment and the siblings come together to show how adversity can be overcome when people pull together.
