Channing Tatum is looking to break into reality television with A&E, the home of several reality hits like Duck Dynasty and Storage Wars. The series would center on a new nightclub he and his business partner Keith Kurtz opened in New Orleans.
At the moment, the project is only being developed as a pilot, notes TheWrap. Saints & Sinners, the name of the nightclub, will serve as the setting for the untitled show. The club’s motto is “Where the red light is always on.”
According to Entertainment Weekly, the club says it offers “food, spirits, music, and a sinfully good time,” according to its site.
“Styled after the famous red-light district bordellos and burlesque halls of New Orleans’ Storyville era, Saints & Sinners is Tatum’s tribute to the city’s ribald, good-time reputation,” the owners note.
It’s not clear if Tatum will actually take part in the series, especially since he has a busy movie career to take care of. He’s currently working on 22 Jump Street and is the voice of Superman in The Lego Movie. He was last seen in White House Down and will be seen opposite Steve Carell in Foxcatcher next year. There’s also rumors of a Magic Mike sequel.
