FX on Tuesday morning teased The Full Monty, as in an eight-part follow-up to the 1997 BAFTA Award-winning film that may stream this June completely on Hulu.
Check out the primary photographs above and beneath.
Set 25 years after the unique British movie, the collection follows the identical band of brothers as they navigate the post-industrial metropolis of Sheffield and society’s crumbling healthcare, schooling and employment sectors.
As it does so, the dramedy guarantees to “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 fiercely funny world of these working-class heroes — still residing in Sheffield — has changed in the intervening decades.”
Among these reprising their movie roles are Robert Carlyle (Once Upon a Time) as Gaz, Mark Addy (Game of Thrones) as Dave, Lesley Sharp (Before We Die) as Jean, Hugo Speer (Shadow and Bone) as Guy, Paul Barber (The Dumping Ground) as Horse, Steve Huison (The Royle Family) as Lomper, Wim Snape (Gentleman Jack) as Nathan and Tom Wilkinson (Michael Clayton) as Gerald.
The new forged contains Talitha Wing (Alex Rider), as Gaz’s teenage daughter, Destiny; Paul Clayton (The Crown) as Lomper’s husband Dennis; Miles Jupp as Darren, a current divorcee and housing officer who appears as much as the Monty males for recommendation on navigating grownup life; Sophie Stanton as Hetty, a colleague and pal of Jean’s; and Phillip Rhys Chaudhary (Pretty Little Liars: The Perfectionists) as Dilip, Deputy Headteacher on the college.
Additionally, Tupele Dorgu performs Destiny’s mom Yaz, Dominic Sharkey and Natalie Davies play Destiny’s mates, Arnold Oceng performs a gifted graffiti artist, and Aiden Cook performs wise-cracking 12-year-old Dean/Twiglet.
