[Channing Tatum](http://motto.time.com/4380390/channing-tatum-stanford-swimmer/) and [Jenna Dewan-Tatum](http://motto.time.com/4378518/jenna-dewan-tatum-channing-tatum-marriage/), perfect couple and general proprietors of #relationshipgoals, continue their reign as the first couple of dance with the announcement that they will be producing a [YouTube series ](http://time.com/4349864/ethan-klein-h3h3productions-fair-use-protection-account-fupa/)based on their very excellent movie, _Step Up_, which, in addition to blessing us with the union of Channing and Jenna, also gave us three sequels.

According to [_Deadline_](http://deadline.com/2016/06/step-up-tv-series-channing-tatum-youtube-1201778617/), this show will be a part of YouTube Red, the platform’s subscription service, and is slated to be YouTube’s “first full-fledged, big-budget original drama series.”

Lest we all forget how truly magical _Step Up_ was and is, let’s take a minute to remember it and contemplate what it will mean to have a series based on it.
