Watch the First (Incredibly Exciting) Teaser for the Drumline Sequel

Jezebel

Even though some are misguided enough to think the world didn't need more Drumline, the good people at VH1 knew better. The day Drumline: A New Beat premieres is coming closer and closer and luckily we have a little video tidbit of it to tide us over until then.

Since we last remarked on the Drumline sequel, our lead – you know, the one struggling to become the first female leader of her marching band – has been cast: she's Alexandra Shipp, who replaced Zendaya Coleman in VH1's Aaliyah biopic. Additionally, The Grio kindly points out that there's a former Destiny's Child member in our midst: "LeToya Luckett plays the beautiful, determined Atlanta A&T Dean of Students — Dr. Nia Phillips."
