The Full Monty cast: 26 years after the boys first stripped off, who stars in ... trends now
Over two decades have passed since the unlikely group of Sheffield steelworkers stripped off in the face of unemployment.
Peter Cattaneo's 1997 comedy made waves at the time, winning an Oscar for best original musical or comedy.
Now, the film maintains a cult classic status and is admired for its candid and humorous approach to some of society's pitfalls.
Years later, we prepare to cheer the men on again, as a major streaming service announces the date for the Full Monty Series and welcomes a whole new generation to the film.
The new eight-part sequel will stream on Disney+ on June 14 and, with the help of the original cast the series will explore the same working class brothers 25 years on.
The greatly anticipated comeback is set in the same post-industrial city and will explore 'society's crumbling healthcare, education and employment sectors,' according to the synopsis.
