Step Up has found a new home.
On Thursday, it was announced that the dance series based on the Step Up films is moving to Starz for season 3 after YouTube canceled it back in August 2019. The 10-episode new season will feature returning stars Ne-Yo, Naya Rivera, Petrice Jones, Faizon Love, Marcus Mitchell, Jade Chynoweth, Carlito Olivero, Terrence Green, Eric Graise, and Kendra Oyesanya. Plus, Tricia Helfer (Battlestar Galactica, Lucifer) is joining the cast as new character Erin for season 3.
Original Step Up film producers Adam Shankman and Jennifer Gibgot are executive producing this latest chapter in the franchise along with Sorensen. Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan, who both co-starred in the original Step Up film, will also executive produce along with Erik Feig, who served as producer on all the films, and Bill Brown.
Ahead of the season 3 debut on Starz, the previous two seasons, which first aired on YouTube under the title Step Up: High Water, will be available to stream on the Starz app and on demand for anyone who wants to catch up on the dancing and drama.
