The Merry Gentlemen cast: Who stars with Chad Michael Murray in Netflix Christmas movie?
The movie is the latest festive film to land on the streamer.
It wouldn't be Christmas without a string of knowingly cheesy, Hallmark-inspired festive films on Netflix – and the latest to be added to the streamer is The Merry Gentlemen.
A festive-themed riff on The Full Monty, the film stars Britt Robertson as a dancer who is let go from her long-standing gig as a member of a successful Broadway troupe, but finds new purpose when she steps in to save her parents' struggling bar – by staging an all-male, Christmas-themed revue.
Chad Michael Murray stars as one of the dancers who she recruits to join the troupe, and the pair soon find themselves striking up something of a romance.
But who else stars in the cast? Read on for everything you need to know.
