Yahoo News Naya Rivera joins Channing Tatum's Step Up TV show
Glee star Naya Rivera is moving from a cappella into the dance world.
She's also going from student to teacher as she joins the TV reboot of Step Up, which is being executive produced by Channing Tatum and wife Jenna Dewan Tatum.
The actress will star opposite singer-dancer Ne-Yo as a school admin/mentor in the YouTube Red original series written by Holly Sorensen (Recovery Road, Make It or Break It), according to Deadline.
We may be more excited, however, by the fact that the movie version's Dewan and Tatum themselves are involved in the project.
Naya is thought to be taking on the role of Collette in the series, who is described as a former dancer-turned-High Water administrator with her own secrets.
Ne-Yo will star alongside her as the school's legendary founder Sage Odom.
The series is expected to premiere later this year and is being piped as YouTube Red's first big-budget original drama, so get ready for some serious early naughties nostalgia.
Sounds brill!
The original Step Up movie was, of course, a dance rom-com starring Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan.
The 2006 flick, which spawned four more films, followed Tatum's Tyler Gage as he received the opportunity of a lifetime after vandalising a performing arts school, gaining him the chance to earn a scholarship and dance with an up-and-coming dancer, Dewan's Nora.
