The new “Full Monty” picks up 25 years after the original movie, following the same band of brothers as they navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield, England 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 world of these working-class heroes – still residing in Sheffield – has changed in their intervening quarter-century.

The original “Full Monty” was nominated for four Academy Awards, winning for its musical score, and took in nearly $258 million at the box office worldwide. Simon Beaufoy, whose original screenplay was among the film’s Oscar nominees and who won in 2009 for his “Slumdog Millionaire” script, returns for the series, joined by co-writer Alice Nutter (“Accused”). Uberto Pasolini also comes back as executive producer. Simon Lewis serves as series producer.

The series is executive produced for Disney+ by Lee Mason. The original series was developed by Searchlight Television and FX.
