Generation creators Daniel and Ben Barnz have lined up their next show.
The married couple has landed a pilot order at Amazon for the marching band dramedy Band, with John Benjamin Hickey (Pitch Perfect, The Big C) and Chanté Adams (A League of Their Own, A Man in Full) set to lead the ensemble cast.
The potential series, like Max’s Generation, follows a group of teens as they navigate adolescence while finding a sense of belonging in their school’s marching band.
Rounding out the cast are Miguel Ángel Garcia (The Long Game, Promised Land) as star Axel; newcomer Lynley Eilers as his fiercely loyal best friend Sasha; Alex Fitzalan (The Society, The Wilds) as sexy Simon; Henry Hunter Hall (The Watcher, Hunters) as heartthrob drummer Evan. Hickey will play the band’s fearless leader Cole, while Adams is set as his right-hand Zadie.

(L-r) Channing Tatum as Mike Lane and Salma Hayek Pinault as Maxandra Mendoza in Warner Bros. Pictures musical comedy “Magic Mike’S Last Dance,” a Warner Bros. Pictures release.
Magic Mike’S Last Dance is the third installment in Channing Tatum’s male stripper-dance series, and appears to be the last, as the story reaches crazy fantasy heights. That is not to say there isn’t some entertainment value – in the vein of the erotic original – and with director Steven Soderbergh back at the helm (as he was for the first one but not the second), it is a more polish production. Magic Mike’S Last Dance dials back the seriousness of the second movie, and this third installment describes itself as “musical comedy” as it returns more to male erotic dancing and female titillation mode.

This weekend a singular cinematic trilogy reaches its climax as Magic Mike’s Last Dance writhes its way into cinemas.
For the closing chapter of Mike Lord’s odyssey, the exotic dancer and furniture maker has gone Transatlantic. His very particular set of skills attracts the attention of a glamorous, philanthropic, backer with a buttload of money, a West End theatre and a powerful desire to piss off her estranged and stuffy hubby.
Mike (Channing Tatum) and Maxandra (Salma Hayek Pinault) are thrown together by faate and the indiscretion of a former bump and grind-recipient at a time when both are adrift in their own lives and disappointments. Max’s indecent proposal for a single dance swiftly evolves into a month-long opportunity for Mike to make his mark on London town as the scorned wife melodramatically exerts her independence.
The dance itself is one of two showcase moments for the pairing of Tatum’s arresting,...

Max’s indecent proposal for a single dance swiftly evolves into a month-long opportunity for Mike to make his mark on London town as the scorned wife melodramatically exerts her independence.
The dance itself is one of two showcase moments for the pairing of Tatum’s arresting,...

Channing Tatum is back as the magic man, and Stephen Soderberg returns to direct Magic Mike’s Last Dance. Written by Reid Carolin, this stripper story has a feminist edge as it introduces a new character played by Salma Hayek who’s at the center of the story. Like the other two films, Last Dance has some electric dance numbers (choreographed by Alison Faulk and Luke Broadlick), with Tatum being as charming as ever. But something is missing from this one and its rushed conclusion makes those ending moments appear random and out of place.
We first see Mike Lane (Tatum) working as a bartender at an event where he meets Maxandra “Max” Mendoza, a wealthy socialite going through a divorce. He goes back to her house, and she offers him six thousand dollars to ‘entertain’ her–prompting the longest strip dance scene ever. All the whining and gyrating wins...

Repeating the blissfully perfect, pure ode to pleasure that is Magic Mike Xxl would be a fool’s errand, so nearly a decade later––with Steven Soderbergh back in the director’s chair–cinema’s finest stripper-verse is closing out on a more gentle, familiar, innocuous note. Hewing, unexpectedly, closer to a family film at its heart, Magic Mike’s Last Dance offers a more generalized message of the power of dance to engender community. This reliance on plot––and specifically this plot––rings a touch disappointing when considering the franchise’s bolder peaks. But thanks to a couple of memorable set-pieces, this final outing is still sexier than anything the likes of 50 Shades of Grey or Sam Levinson could ever dream up.
Slipping back into (and out of) the comfortable fits of his most beloved character, Channing Tatum’s Mike Lane is in a rut. He has yet...

“Toothless” probably isn’t the first word “Magic Mike” fans want to associate with Channing Tatum’s aging exotic dancer series, but there’s no denying the female-targeting franchise has dulled its bite over the past decade. If the Walt Disney Co. had made a movie about male strippers, it might look something like “Magic Mike’s Last Dance,” a soft, in-name-only sequel to the 2012 hit, whose title is about as convincing as reports of director Steven Soderbergh’s retirement.
Tatum’s still got it, and he ain’t about to retire, even if his semi-autobiographical hero, Mike Lane, has lost his magic and seems ready to hang up his thong. Meanwhile, gone are all the other gorgeous hunks who road-tripped with him in “Magic Mike Xxl” — unless you count a lo-res video conference with Ken, Tarzan and two other old friends when Mike gets to London. Why London? That’s...

Near the end of 2015’s Magic Mike Xxl, before putting on their sexiest show, our beloved troupe of strippers (or male entertainers, as they prefer to be called) hear the ecstatic cheers of the crowd on the other side of the curtain. “They’re doing a fucking Twilight routine and they’re mopping it up,” Big Dick Richie (Joe Manganiello) says, exasperated by the preceding group’s PG-13 gyrations and graceless body rolls. Tarzan (Kevin Nash) isn’t surprised: “All those tweeners are growing up, man — makes perfect sense.”
If you keep Tarzan’s nonchalant sentiment in mind, then you may be able to forgive the frustrating disappointment that is Magic Mike’s Last Dance. The latest installment of the Magic Mike Cinematic Universe — a franchise that includes the enjoyable Magic Mike, the raucous Magic Mike Xxl, a reality television show called Finding Magic Mike and the tour Magic Mike Live...
