Fans of belligerently talented & attractive humans and fledgling streaming services, rejoice!
As part of YouTube Red’s attempt to catch up to the other already-huge players in online streaming, the new service has commissioned bona fide polymaths Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum to executive produce a Step Up series.
The sweaty, balletic project will leap forth from the titular film series – the very same one that brought those two blessed humans together in the first place, all the way back in 2006.
It’ll be Youtube Red’s first big-bucks drama offering, and the bigwigs involved are quite understandably stoked on the entire concept. Their head of original content Susanne Daniels said that since dance is already a rock-solid genre on YT, having some high-quality telly built around the series is a pretty obvious move.
The project joins a handful of original series YouTube Red has already pumped out, including Scare PewDiePie, which does exactly what it says on the tin, and shows from established YouTube heavy-hitters like Rooster Teeth and Fine Brothers.
