Game of Thrones’ Mark Addy to return as Dave in The Full Monty TV series

Game of Thrones adorned the crown of the best TV show of the 21st century, and the crown was star-studded with some of the best talents across the planet. Veteran actor Mark Addy, who played King Robert Baratheon in the show and has appeared in countless popular shows and movies, will be returning as a fan-favorite character in a serialized sequel to his beloved movie The Full Monty.

What is The Full Monty TV series about?

The original Full Monty film came about 25 years ago, in 1997, and was the top-grossing movie in the UK until the release of Titanic. It is about a group of unemployed men who come together to set up a strip club, and in the process end up rediscovering themselves. The TV series is set 25 years in the future, with the cast now old and their children growing up and having to deal with their fathers’ old reputation.

Who is in the cast of Full Monty?

Game of Thrones star Mark Addy and Trainspotting’s Robert Carlyle, who played the leads Dave and Gaz, will be back in their fan-favorite roles. They are joined by Lesley Sharp as Jean, Paul Barber as Horse, Steve Huison as Lomper, Tom Wilkinson as Gerald, and Wim Snape as Gaz’s son Nathan.

When will The Full Monty be released?

Even though the exact date hasn’t been revealed, Disney+ has announced that the series will be available to stream from June 2023 in the UK.
