Professional 'scarers' Mike and Sulley discovered at the conclusion of the 2001 animated classic that laughter produced more energy than scaring the young children.

The new series will pick up six months later when the lovable duo are busy in charge of the Laughter Floor.

Mad Men actor Ben Feldman stars as junior mechanic Tylor Tuskmon - who aspires to work alongside his idols, Mike and Sulley, but faces a series of adventures in his bid of achieving his dream job.

After rising to fame in 2017's Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Kelly Marie Tran will appear in Monsters At Work as Tylor's best friend, Val Little.

On its release in 2001, Monsters, Inc. shot to the top of the box office charts and went on to earn a whopping $577.4Million.

A prequel movie followed in 2013 that explored the origins of Mike and Sulley's friendship during their time at Monsters University.

Plans for a third Monsters, Inc. movie never materialised, with focus instead shifting to the animated series.
