"Let's Get Physical"

In the film, Dewan plays the role of a fitness instructor named Sadie who teaches dance classes to moms by day and leads a double life at night running a prostitution ring. Her night life includes a customer list of prominent men in her small community. An anonymous tip led authorities to her studio, which then caused a lot of questions about who's on her client list.

Dewan's Instagram post was captioned, "So excited to share this! Executive producing this movie alongside @kellyripa @markconsuelos @lifetimetv was an absolute blast and as you can see starring in this movie and bringing this character to life was fun, spicy and thought provoking! I hope you guys have as much fun watching as we did making it! Let's Get Physical Coming soooooon to @lifetimetv.

Following in the Family Business

In his famous parent's footsteps, Michael, 25, landed a major role in the film. This isn't the first time he's working with his parents, or his first acting gig. The actor starred as a younger version of his father's "Riverdale" character, Hiram Lodge, on The CW show. Michael actually landed his first role back in 2004 when he voiced Alien Gremmie in the animated series "Duck Dodgers." A few years later, he voiced multiple characters in "Go, Diego! Go!"

Adding More Producing to her Resume

This isn't the first producer title Dewan has earned. The actress produced a documentary in 2010 and 20 episodes of "Step Up: High Water" between 2018 and 2019. Back in January, it was announced that Dewan has signed on to produce two original movies for Lifetime. Dewan told The Hollywood Reporter, "I am so excited to reteam with Lifetime on these projects. They've always been such wonderful partners and have truly paved the way for female-focused entertainment. It's going to be a lot of fun getting to tell some really special stories together."

And let's not forget her busiest job of all - mom to her two kids, daughter Everly Tatum, 9, with ex Channing Tatum and son Callum Kazee, 2, with fiancé Steve Kazee.
