VH1 has announced that Nick Cannon’s Drumline: A New Beat will debut on Monday, October 27.
As previously reported, the film stars Alexandra Shipp as Danielle (Dani) Bolton an upper-class Brooklyn girl who defies her parents in order to attend Atlanta A&T so she can join – and revitalize – their once-prominent drumline. Dani’s quest to become the first female section leader of the drumline in the school’s history will be hampered by upperclassmen (including her cousin, Tyree); her feelings for fellow band mate and rival, Jayven; and the school’s crosstown rivals.
Rounding out the cast is Letoya Luckett, Jordan Calloway, Jeff Pierre, Jasmine Burke, Leonard Roberts and Scott Shilstone. Cannon will also reprise his role as Devon Miles but only as a cameo.
Drumline: A New Beat was directed by Bille Woodruff and was shot entirely at Clark Atlanta University this summer.
