The trailer also introduces rising star Talitha Wing (‘Wolfe’), who will play Gazās teenage daughter, Destiny Schofield.
Taking place 25 years after the original British smash hit, the 8×60ā series will follow the same band of brothers as they navigate the post-industrial city of Sheffield, and societyās crumbling healthcare, education, and employment sectors. The comedy-drama will uncover what happened to the gang after they put their kit back on, exploring their brighter, sillier and more desperate moments. It will also highlight how the fiercely funny world of these working-class heroes ā still residing in Sheffield ā has changed in the intervening decades.
The original movieās screenwriter Simon Beaufoy returns, joined by co-writer Alice Nutter (‘Accused’), with Uberto Pasolini (‘Nowhere Special’) also coming back as executive producer.
The original 1997 BAFTA-winning movie is available to stream now on Disney+ in the UK.
