EXCLUSIVE: Magic Mike star Adam Rodriguez is returning to the world of male strippers. Rodriguez, who played Tito in both the 2012 and 2015 films, has joined The Real Magic Mike! (working title), HBO Max’s upcoming unscripted competition series, as mentor and executive producer. The series, from the producers behind the Magic Mike franchise and live shows, begins production next month in Las Vegas and is set to debut on HBO Max later this year. Channing Tatum, who starred in the titular role in both Magic Mike films, and director Steven Soderbergh, are among the series’ executive producers.

The winner will pocket a cash prize and an opportunity to perform on the Magic Mike Live stage in Las Vegas.
