HBO Max is looking for a few good men.
The streaming service announced that it has ordered to series an unscripted competition series, The Real Magic Mike (working title). Nationwide casting is currently underway. Channing Tatum, who stars in the movie franchise, serves as one of its executive producers.
The Real Magic Mike is described as an “exhilarating and sexy” series, and aims to transform a group of men into real-life Magic Mikes. 10 men who have ‘lost their magic’ will come together in a competition series like no other. They will bare their souls and more as they evolve their bodies, learn to perform spectacular routines, and develop a new level of self-confidence.
As they strip off their clothes, they will rid themselves of emotional baggage and regain their mojo but only one will be the Real Magic Mike. He will win a cash prize and an opportunity to perform on the blockbuster Magic Mike Live stage in Las Vegas.
Other involvement for Tatum in the new show is yet unknown, but if not a host or judge, we maybe anticipate he’ll appear in a few episodes as a mentor/coach for the men.
The Real Magic Mike , the Max Original unscripted competition series, will debut later this year.
