Step Up producers Adam Shankman (also a judge on So You Think You Can Dance), Jennifer Gibgot and Meredith Milton will also serve as EPs alongside the Tatums.

On Thursday, Channing opened up to Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles about intimate details about his sex life with his wife. “We get down,” the 36-year-old actor said. “Me and Jenna have a great sex life.”
"Me and sex are friends," he continued. "It's not a means. It should be something that enriches your life... It shouldn't be the only reason you're in a relationship."
Last January, Channing and Jenna opened up to ET's Kevin Frazier about those sexy Magic Mike XXL moves.
“God, it’s like the best time ever,” Jenna gushed to ET at the time of the couple's Magic Mike rehearsals at home. “I get to watch all the choreography, listen to the music and he lets me put my input in.”
