FOX'S "THE REAL FULL MONTY" BARES ALL TO RAISE AWARENESS FOR PROSTATE AND TESTICULAR CANCER

New Two-Hour Special Inspired by Hit Award-Winning Film and Based on Wildly Popular International Format

Celebrity Cast Strips the Stigma to Promote Testing and Research

Inspired by the award-winning 1997 beloved film, FOX's The Real Full Monty is an all-new two-hour special in which a daring group of male celebrities will volunteer to bare all to raise awareness for prostate and testicular cancer testing and research.

FOX's all-new special is based on the international unscripted format with hit versions in the U.K., France and The Netherlands and will premiere on FOX later this year. The Real Full Monty will be co-produced by Spun Gold TV and FOX Alternative Entertainment.

During the two-hour special, The Real Full Monty's male celebrity talent will train and rehearse for the most revealing performance of their careers, culminating with a big strip-tease dance in front of a live audience. Leading up the final disrobing, the men will push their limits of comfortability, modesty, and brotherhood with a series of rehearsals and experiences, both private and public, designed to build confidence and remove them far from their comfort zone and strengthen their bond as a group. Along the way, each of the celebrities will share their personal stories of how cancer has impacted their lives.

"Sadly, cancer continues to impact millions of people throughout the world; and while science has made great progress in developing a cure, it's so important that we keep fighting the battle against this horrible disease," said Allison Wallach, President of Unscripted Programming at FOX Entertainment. "Through The Real Full Monty, we are leveraging the immense reach and power of broadcast to air this important call-to-action to educate viewers about cancer. If The Real Full Monty saves even one life, then having these brave men sharing their personal and poignant experiences with cancer will have been worth it."

Daniela Neumann, Managing Director of Spun Gold TV added: "The Real Full Monty has been a huge success, not just in the U.K. but worldwide, and more importantly has led to thousands and thousands of people going for potentially life-saving check-ups. We are thrilled to be partnering with FOX where we hope it will be equally impactful in the U.S."

The first Real Full Monty special was broadcast on the U.K.'s ITV in 2017, garnering awards, massive viewership and critical praise. The special has since been broadcast in the U.K. annually, and the format has successfully expanded into Australia, France and the Netherlands.

The U.S. format for The Real Full Monty will be produced by Spun Gold TV (a 53 Degrees Global company) and FOX Alternative Entertainment. The show will be executive produced by Dan Norris and Ashley Edens, who also serves as showrunner. Executive producers from Spun Gold include Nick Bullen and Daniela Neumann.
