Hit the Floor will be sticking around for another season, with VH1 giving the scripted drama a second season pickup. According to the network, the show starring Taylour Paige, Kimberly Elise, Charlotte Ross, Logan Browning, and Dean Cain is the top new scripted series on cable this summer among adults. Hit the Floor season one has been averaging 1.9 million viewers.
“We always knew that Hit the Floor was a strong project from the beginning and we are thrilled that so many of our viewers agree with us,” stated Jill Holmes, VH1’s Senior Vice President of West Coast Production and Development. “With creator James LaRosa at the helm, everyone in front of and behind the camera has created a compelling, addictive series with high energy dance numbers, and we can’t wait to continue the storyline that’s made it the #1 cable show in its time period among adults.”
The Plot: Hit The Floor explores the sexy world of professional basketball and the dancers who make the fans (and players) go wild. The Los Angeles Devils are the number one team in the league. When the arena lights go on all of Hollywood comes out to support the million dollar players. But in this city these men share the fame, adrenalin, money, sex, and power with their dancers, the Devil Girls.
At the heart of Hit The Floor is Ahsha (Taylour Paige), a sheltered young woman who joins the team against the wishes of her mother Sloane (Kimberly Elise), who knows this treacherous, tempting world all too well having been a Devil Girl herself. Olivia (Charlotte Ross) is the shrewd squad manager, Jelena (Logan Browning) is the ruthless, star captain who won’t let anyone else share the spotlight and Pete Davenport (Dean Cain) is the former All-Star who’s come back to coach his old team only to have to contend with the girls both stealing the spotlight and distracting his players. All the while, the mystery surrounding the disappearance of missing Devil Girls dancer Mia threatens to blow the roof off the entire L.A. Devils organization.
