The comedy-drama films "Magic Mike "and "Magic Mike XXL" about male strippers both proved to be big box office successes. On Monday, actor Channing Tatum said he is back with his famous dance moves for another sequel, “Magic Mike’s Last Dance."

Tatum tweeted a picture of the script and said, “Well world, looks like Mike Lane’s tapping back in,” and tagged HBO Max.

The new film will premiere exclusively on HBO Max and will bring back the original director Steven Soderbergh, along with writer Reid Carolin. Gregory Jacobs, Carolin, Nick Wechsler and Peter Kiernan are set to be producing as well.

“There are no words for how excited I am to blow the doors off of the world of Magic Mike with Steven, Greg, Reid, and the amazing people at HBO Max,” said Tatum in the press release. “The stripperverse will never be the same.”
