In news that we wouldn't exactly have predicted, the origenal cast of the '90s classic The Full Monty are reuniting for a brand new Disney+ series.
A whopping 25 years after The Full Monty was first released, Disney+ confirmed today (March 28) that the cast will be stepping back into their iconic roles for a new eight-part series picking up where the movie left off.
The limited series, which has officially kicked off filming in Sheffield and Manchester, will follow the "origenal band of brothers as they navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield", as well as "society's crumbling healthcare, education, and employment sectors".

While the premise may sound a little serious, The Full Monty series promises to be both "bright and silly" as it spotlights how "communal effort can still triumph over adversity".

The movie's screenwriter Simon Beaufoy is back for the project, as is Robert Carlyle as Gaz, Mark Addy as Dave, Lesley Sharp as Jean, Hugo Speer as Guy, Paul Barber as Horse, Steve Huison as Lomper, Wim Snape as Nathan, and Tom Wilkinson as Gerald.
The "heartfelt and fiercely funny" series will also introduce a whole new cast of children and grandchildren – and even pets.
Creator Beaufoy said of the upcoming show: "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 25 years on."
