The Full Monty was a smash hit, being the highest-grossing British picture at the time of its release in 1997, until Titanic surpassed it.
Disney Plus has granted the famous film, which featured a group of Sheffield-based friends doing a strip tease to collect money for child support, a TV series adaptation 25 years later.
The 2023 sequel does not continue where the last film left off, instead following the protagonists in the current day as they struggle with heartbreak, austerity, and friendship.
While the film cast included Trainspotting’s Robert Carlyle, Game of Thrones’ Mark Addy, and Lesley Sharp, who appears in the TV show?
