Yahoo News The Full Monty series gets first trailer for Disney+ show
Disney+ has released the first trailer for its upcoming The Full Monty TV series, which takes place 25 years after the original 1997 movie.
The comedy-drama will reunite the same band of brothers as they "navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield," as well as "society's crumbling healthcare, education, and employment sectors".
Fans of the classic film will finally out what happened to the gang after their iconic strip tease, with the series "highlighting how the fiercely funny world of these working-class heroes – still residing in Sheffield – has changed in the intervening decades".

The trailer sees the original cast reprising their roles, including 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.
While it looks like the Monty Men have moved on from their stripping days, they do still get recognised for it.
"You were strippers! Are you still doing it?" a stranger asks the group in the trailer, to which Dave bluntly replies: "What do you think?"

The footage also introduces fans to new cast members Talitha Wing, who plays Gaz’s daughter Destiny, and Paul Clayton, who plays Lomper's husband Dennis.
Following the show's announcement, returning screenwriter Simon Beaufoy said in a statement: "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."
The original movie The Full Monty is already available to stream on Disney+ in the UK, with the spin-off series joining it on June 14.
