The television adaptation of the popular movie franchise ‘Step Up’ is back with a binge-worthy, sexy, bold, and fast-paced third season.

In its first and sophomore seasons, the show served as a YouTube Original series, ‘Step Up: High Water.’

Now, it has found a new home at STARZ under the shorter title of ‘Step Up.’

Along with a new network and name, the series added new characters and actors. The late Naya Rivera originally played the role of Collette Jones. After time and respectful consideration, Christina Milian was cast in the same role; she has shared that she wants to portray Jones in a way that is unique to her. 

Season three continues to follow megastar Sage Odom (played by Ne-Yo) as he faces criminal charges, financial ruin, and powerful political enemies.

That Grape Juice’s Chet Kincaid caught up with members of the cast and crew, including Milian, creator Holly Sorensen, Jamaica Craft, Terayle Hill, Terrence Green, Kendra Willis, Rebbie Rosie, and Jade Chynoweth.

Collectively, they opened up about what we can expect from season three of the talent-filled show.

Based on a true story, ‘The Woman King’ centers on the narrative of General Nanisca (Davis) as she rears the next generation of recruits and readies them for war against an adversary hellbent on upheaving their lives.

And while it looks poised to premiere at #1 and has earned an A+ CinemaScore, Davis makes it clear that it was no easy feat getting the movie to the masses.
Speaking candidly, she detailed the various hurdles and stressed why it’s so important for audiences (especially Black audiences) to support the film (and films like it).

Just days after a clip of the Gospel singer and prophetess preaching against the juxtaposition of “being saved” and listening to secular music flew to viral status on social media (as we reported here), backlash brewed when a video of her dancing to Mary J. Blige‘s 2007 hit ‘Just Fine’ inconveniently resurfaced.

The timing of Bynum’s sermon drew particular attention as many took it as a subtle dig against Twinkie Clark, the lead singer of the legendary Gospel quartet The Clark Sisters, who is currently embroiled in controversy for allowing their song ‘Center of Thy Will’ to serve as the center of Beyonce‘s profanity-laden ‘Renaissance’ hit ‘Church Girl.’
