Entertainment Now | June 10 - 16, 2023 By Raye Smith TV Media WHAT'S NEW ON HULU "The Full Monty" Lay it all on the line with the highly anticipated limited series reboot of "The Full Monty" when it premieres on Hulu Wednesday, June 14. The original hit film from 1997 follows a group of six steel- workers who, desperate for cash, form a male striptease group. Now, this revival catches back up with the original cast 25 years on, as the Sheffield, U.K., natives set- tle into a new way of living. Now worlds away from their entertain- ment pasts, Gary "Gaz" Schofield (Robert Carlyle, "Trainspotting," 1996) is navigating relationships with his police officer son, Na- than (Wim Snape, "The Beaker Girls"), and rebellious teenage daughter, Destiny (Talitha Wing, "Wolfe"), and Dave (Mark Addy, "Game of Thrones") and his wife, Jean (Lesley Sharp, "Afterlife"), now work at the same school and are dealing with some big issues both in and out of the classroom. Meanwhile, Lomper (Steve Huis- on, "Coronation Street") and his husband, Dennis (Paul Clayton, "The Crown"), are trying to keep their dwindling, cheekily named Big Baps café afloat; Horse (Paul Barber, "Only Fools and Horses") is struggling to make ends meet amidst a crumbling welfare sys- tem; and Gerald (Tom Wilkinson, "Belgravia") is keeping on with his job at a construction firm. Also seeing Hugo Speer ("The Muske- teers") return as Guy, the series cast is rounded out by Miles Jupp ("Why Didn't They Ask Evans?"), Tupele Dorgu ("Coronation Street"), Phillip Rhys Chaudhary ("24"), Aiden Cook ("All Crea- tures Great and Small") John Hol- lingsworth ("1917," 2019), Lisa Allen ("Emmerdale Farm"), Joe Standerline ("Safe") and new tal- ent Jaxon Valentine. "Dragons: The Nine Realms" - Season 6 The riders are back and taking on another new adventure when Season 6 of "Dragons: The Nine Realms" streams on Hulu Thurs- day, June 15. Set 1,300 years after the events of DreamWorks' hit family film "How to Train Your Dragon" (2010), this computer- animated spinoff series takes place in the modern world, where dragons are nothing more than a myth. But when a geological anomaly opens up a fissure in the earth and draws in scientists from around the world in the series' first season, a group of misfit kids brought to the site by their parents uncover the secret of dragons and learn where they've simply been in hiding all these years. With the dragons rediscovered, it's up to the newest generation of Dragon Riders to keep their secrets safe as they explore, discover new realms and bond with the massive crea- tures. As the series picks back up for the sixth season, having a bunch of rambunctious dragons in town is a big adjustment for every- one now that the dragon secret has been revealed to ICARIS. As Tom (voiced by Jeremy Shada, "Adventure Time") struggles to maintain peace and live up to his legacy as the Dragon Whisperer, the Riders have their world turned upside down once again when they discover a new giant realm that is home to some of the big- gest dragons in the Hidden World. From creator Henry Gilroy ("Star Wars: Rebels"), "The Nine Realms" also voice stars Ashley Liao ("Fuller House"), Aimee Gar- cia ("Dexter"), Marcus Scribner ("Black-ish"), Vincent Tong ("Nin- jago") and Julia Stiles ("The Lake").

James, Richard and Jeremy seem to have a problem: every country they want to visit is either a trouble hot spot or has banned them from entering. So instead, they head to central Europe on a road trip nobody has ever thought of, in cars nobody would ever dream of using. Heading out on an "epic 1,400-mile journey in an outra- geous Japanese Al Capone gang- ster car, a pickup that thinks it's a convertible, and a 75-year-old American micro mini" (per Prime Video), the boys travel from Gdansk in Poland through Slova- kia and Hungary before heading on to their final destination at Slovenia's stunning Lake Bled. Along the way, they'll wreak some havoc, explore some histor- ic and fascinating places, test out some unbelievable cars and meet up with a famous Formula 1 champion. 10 | Streaming Waltman Flooring 2 x 2" Family Services 2 x 1.5" Talitha Wing and Robert Carlyle in "The Full Monty" Kokomo Speedway 2 x 2" Friendship Haven 2 x 2"
