Channing Tatum confirmed that he will reprise his role as stripper Mike Lane in the 3rd installment in the Magic Mike film series, titled Magic Mike’s Last Dance. The 41-year-old actor tweeted alongside the cover of a script for the film: “Well world, looks like Mike Lane’s tapping back in. @hbomax”

Magic Mike’s Last Dance will premiere exclusively on HBO Max. The film will reunite Tatum with writer Reid Carolin and director Steven Soderbergh. Carolin wrote the original film, Magic Mike (2012) and its sequel, Magic Mike XXL (2015), while Soderbergh directed the first film. Gregory Jacobs directed the second and will serve as a producer on the new sequel. The first two films grossed nearly $300 million worldwide and inspired the stage show Magic Mike Live, which launched in 2017.  In addition, the reality competition series Finding Magic Mike will premiere Dec. 16 on HBO Max.

Warner Bros. Pictures Group chairman Toby Emmerich said: “Is there anybody on screen more charismatic and appealing than Magic Mike?  We’re thrilled to be back in business with Channing, Steven and their creative team to bring back Magic Mike’s wonderful combination of dance, drama, romance and humor.”

Midnight Oil have announced they will hit the road in support of their new album, Resist, in what will be their farewell tour. Resist, the band’s 15th LP, deals with ecological issues and will be released early next year, with tour dates across Australia and New Zealand set to take place between Jan. 23 and May 13. A music video for the LP’s lead song, “Rising Seas,” can be seen – here

Vocalist Peter Garrett said in a statement:  “We all know time refuses to stand still for anyone. [B]ut after many years together the band’s spirit is deep, the music and words are strong, and our ideas and actions as bold as we can make them. We’ve reached people in ways we never could have imagined. Our desire to create and speak out is undimmed. We hope everyone who hears this album and gets to one of the shows will come away charged up about the planet’s future, saying, ‘Why stop now?’ Having always tackled every tour like it’s the last, this time it actually will be.”

Midnight Oil formed in 1972 and initially split in 2002, briefly reuniting in 2005 and 2009 before returning in 2016. Garrett was a senior minister in the Australian government between 2007 and 2013 after first being elected to the House of Representatives in 2004.

The band said it’s possible they could continue working as a group. “Each of the members will continue their own projects over the years ahead,” they reported. “They remain very open to recording new music together in future and supporting causes in which they believe.”
