VH1 has set a May 27, 2013 premiere date for the new drama series Hit the Floor starring Dean Cain, Kimberly Elise, and Charlotte Ross. Hit the Floor is the network’s second hour-long scripted series and is set in the world of professional basketball.

The cast also includes Taylour Paige, Logan Browning, Valery Ortiz, Katherine Bailess, Jonathan McDaniel, McKinley Freeman, Rob Riley, and Don Stark.

James LaRosa created the series and serves as executive producer with Maggie Malina and Bryan Johnson. LaRosa also wrote the pilot, which was directed by Sanaa Hamri.

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.
