New ‘Step Up’ Series Coming to YouTube Red

The Step Up franchise, which has produced five (wonderful) films, is coming to YouTube. No, the best dance clips from the movies aren’t making their way onto the video service (they’re already there!)—Step Up has been acquired by YouTube Red as a scripted series.

This move is meant to help the Google-owned YouTube Red bulk up as a viable streaming service to compete with Netflix and Hulu, among many others. According to the New York Times, Lionsgate will give YouTube Red 10 episodes, each 45 minutes long, for a full season of dance drama.
