Jenna Dewan is excited about her newest project. She's been pulling double duty as actress and executive producer in a new Lifetime movie getting ready to be released. In "Let's Get Physical," a "Ripped from the Headlines" film, Dewan executive produces the movie with the husband/wife team of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, and stars alongside their son Michael Consuelos. In a recent Instagram post about the upcoming film, Dewan, 41, teases some photo and video highlights.
"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.
Ripa, Michael, and Lifetime TV were among the commenters on the post, as well as tons of hearts, flames, and positive words of support. Dewan's pole dancing skills could be seen in two of the videos and many comments were focused on how impressive they are.

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."

Dewan has been busy on other projects as well. She recently posted on Instagram a video that shows her excitement about being back on the set of "The Rookie." She's also worked on "Superman and Lois." 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.
