VH1 has announced that the movie, called _Drumline: A New Beat_, [will air ](http://www.thewrap.com/vh1-sets-drumline-a-new-beat-movie-premiere-date-releases-new-teaser-exclusive/ "undefined")on Monday, Oct. 27, at 9 p.m. ET. Yes, this is happening 12 years after the original film, but hey — the anticipation will make this that much sweeter. The star of the original film, Nick Cannon, is serving as executive producer this time around. (He’ll make an appearance in this one too, but will no longer be the leading man.) Alexandra Shipp stars as Dani, a young percussionist from Brooklyn who arrives at the fictional Atlanta university in the hopes of being its first female drum leader. Watch a short teaser up top, and get hyped. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3328087/drumline-sequel-teaser/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3328087/drumline-sequel-teaser/"},"headline":"Nick Cannon Is Back in New Teaser for Upcoming Drumline Sequel","datePublished":"2014-09-11T16:07:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:08:11.446Z","description":"It will premiere on VH1 on October 27","url":"https://time.com/3328087/drumline-sequel-teaser/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3328087/drumline-sequel-teaser/","name":"Nick Cannon Is Back in New Teaser for Upcoming Drumline Sequel"}}]}] ```
