Disney is putting Mike and Sulley back to work for the long-awaited Monsters, Inc streaming series.

More than a year after it was announced that the House of Mouse was working on a spin off of Monsters, Inc for its own streaming service to rival Netflix, the first details about the project have finally been announced.

The Disney+ series will be called Monsters At Work and will fit into the franchise's timeline six months after the original Monsters, Inc movie left off (via TheWrap).

Billy Crystal and John Goodman are both reprising their roles as monster pals Mike and Sulley, along with fellow original cast members John Ratzenberger (Yeti), Jennifer Tilly (Celia Mae) and Bob Peterson (Roz).

They'll all play supporting roles to a new cast led by Mad Men's Ben Feldman as Tylor Tuskmon, a young mechanic working below Mike and Sulley on the Monsters, Inc. Facilities Team.

Tylor dreams of making it all the way up to the Laugh Floor so he can someday become a legendary Jokester, just like Mike and Sulley.

Rounding out the new voice cast will be Star Wars: Episode IX's Kelly Marie Tran, Criminal Minds actress Aisha Tyler, Arrested Development's Henry Winkler, Raising Hope star Lucas Neff, Star Wars: The Clone Wars voice actor Stephen Stanton and The Spectacular Spider-Man's Alanna Ubach.

Monsters At Work will be premiering on Disney+ in 2020 and is merely the latest exciting series announced for the streaming service.
