Walt Disney Co. (NYSE:DIS) is tapping into the 25th anniversary of the British comedy classic “The Full Monty” with a new Disney+ limited series that reboots the story featuring the original cast.
What Happened: The limited-run series will catch up with the men from the 1997 film, who sought to gain extra money during a period of unemployment by working as male strippers. According to a Deadline report, the new series will involve the men’s children and grandchildren and follow them as “they navigate Sheffield and its crumbling healthcare, education and employment sectors, exploring the brighter, sillier and more humane way forward where communal effort can still triumph over adversity.”
