The network has ordered six episodes of the now untitled show that, according to The Hollywood Reporter, will deliver a “fresh take” on the often recycled genre.

The show will be up against stiff competition, with ABC’s “Dancing With the Stars” now enjoying its 22nd Season, and FOX’s “So You Think You Can Dance” to launch its 13th Season this summer. His experience working as a male stripper in his younger years inspired the “Magic Mike” movies in which he starred.
