Channing Tatum, Matthew McConaughey, Alex Pettyfer, Matthew Bomer, Cody Horn and Riley Keough make up the cast in the the story focusing on a stripper (Channing Tatum) and his attempts over the course of a summer to school a freshman dancer (Alex Pettyfer) in the protocol of stage performance, the principles of money management and rules for dating female fans.

Gabriel Iglesias will play a DJ at the strip joint and part of the gang.

Production is scheduled to start on September 14.
