Channing Tatum (centre) in 2015’s Magic Mike XXL WarnerMedia-owned US streamer HBO Max has ordered a competition series based on the hit Magic Mike franchise of films and live shows. Produced by Australian-US prodco Eureka and the US’s Warner Bros Unscripted Television, The Real Magic Mike (working title) takes 10 men who have lost their mojo and attempts to turn them into more confident people through stripping. The winner will eventually perform in the Magic Mike live show in Las Vegas and receive a cash prize. The show is from the producers of the Magic Mike live shows and franchise, which began as a 2012 film starring Channing Tatum before becoming a live show, with Warner Bros distributing the movie. The first film was directed by Steven Soderbergh, who agreed a three-year production deal with WarnerMedia in 2020.
