On screen, and off screen, Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum make for an enviable couple of ultra-talented dancers. Having met on the set of 2006's Step Up, the pair eventually wed in 2009; recently facing off in epic style on Lip Sync Battle.
The duo will now make their return to television with an upcoming dance competition on NBC, says The Hollywood Reporter. The six-episode series will see Dewan Tatum take on the role of regular judge and mentor, with Tatum dropping in for the occasional appearance. Both will also executive produce the show.
Details are slim, but the hourlong episodes are being described as a "fresh take" on the increasingly tiresome dance competition format; so expect something very, very different from So You Think You Can Dance or Strictly Come Dancing.
Dewan Tatum can elsewhere be seen in her recurring role as Lucy Lane on CBS' Supergirl; Tatum's current slate sees him join the X-Men universe for 2017's Gambit solo film, alongside Sony's pitched Jump Street/Men in Black crossover.
