It looks like High Water is closed for good this time. Starz has cancelled the Step Up series, so there won’t be a fourth season. The third season is currently airing on Sunday nights on the cable channel.
A dramatic series, the Step Up TV show (formerly titled Step Up: High Water) stars Rebbi Rosie, Keiynan Lonsdale, Enrique Murciano, Terayle Hill, Christina Milian, Ne-Yo, Faizon Love, Jade Chynoweth, Carlito Olivero, Terrence Green, Eric Graise, Tricia Helfer, Kendra Oyesanya. The drama follows the students and faculty of the prestigious and cutthroat High Water Performing Art School in Atlanta. It’s a next-level incubator for new artistic talent, where danger, corruption, suspicions, desires, resentments, and ambitions collide in and out of the halls. High Water founder and megastar In season three, Sage Odom (Ne-Yo) faces criminal charges, financial ruin, and powerful political enemies. His partner in business and love, Collette Jones (Milian, replacing Naya Rivera), struggles to maintain their empire and tour while simultaneously wrestling with stepping out of her role as the woman behind the man. Caught in the maelstrom are the talented young artists they’ve groomed and mentored in music and dance: Rigo (Green), Poppy (Oyesanya), Tal (Lonsdale), Davis (Olivero), Odalie (Chynoweth), and mysterious newcomer Angel (Rosie). They all discover that living your dream is more difficult and exciting than they could have expected.
