While speaking to Disney, the show creators opened up about their feelings towards the show. Executive producer Simon Beaufoy mentioned that working on the project had been "one of the great joys" of his career.

"It has been one of the great joys of my writing career to reunite this eccentric, irrepressible family of Sheffield men and women and see how 25 years, 7 Prime Ministers, and 100 broken political promises have affected their lives,” he said.

He added that it had been a "pleasure and a privilege" for him to write the show, as he said:

"Entering the Monty world, where community, friends and family step in when the state has so abysmally failed, has been a great personal reminder of what is good about the world we live in. The series has been a pleasure and a privilege to write on."

The official synopsis of the Full Monty, as per IMDb, reads:

"The original band of brothers 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."

The Full Monty will release on June 14, 2023, on Hulu and Disney+.
