25 years later: The Full Monty cast reunites for 8-part FX series
The original cast is reuniting for a brand new, 8-episode FX series with less stripping, but just as many laughs.

It's a comeback 25 years in the making.

The entire "Full Monty" gang from Sheffield is back from the hit 1997 film.

The original cast is reuniting for a brand new, 8-episode FX series with less stripping, but just as many laughs.

Robert Carlyle reprises his role as "Gaz."

He tells me to expect some comedy, some tragedy and a ton of nostalgia.

"Twenty-five years later, we are pretty much the same," Carlyle laughs. "Nothing's really changed that much for these guys!"

He says it truly felt like a family reunion.

"'The Full Monty' has been like a kind of like a massive, warm shadow that's followed me my entire career," Carlyle says. "Very few people that understand that, but the five people that do are those guys that were in the original film. We had a special bond that was forged from that movie. This really was like a family get-together for us."

The brand new, 8-part series was co-written by Simon Beaufoy, who was nominated for an Oscar for the film.

All 8 episodes The Full Monty stream June 14 on Hulu.

The Walt Disney Co. is the parent company of Hulu and this ABC station.
