Taking place 25 years after the original British smash hit, the eight-parter 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.

The original 1997 movie won an Oscar and was nominated for three others. The series will launch on June 14 on Disney+ internationally and Hulu in the U.S.

The original movie’s screenwriter Simon Beaufoy returns, joined by co-writer Alice Nutter (Accused) with Uberto Pasolini (Nowhere Special) also coming back as executive producer. Simon Lewis serves as series producer. The series is executive produced for Disney+ by Lee Mason, Director, Scripted. The original series was developed by Searchlight Television and FX.
