Hit the Floor, VH1′s sexy summer soap revolving around the Devil Girls — the dancers for a fictional Los Angeles pro basketball team — returns May 26 for a second season. We’ve got your first look at the sexy, sweaty promo now. Watch it below. Fans will notice one new face: She’s All That‘s Jodi Lyn O’Keefe joins the show as Lionel, the estranged starlet wife of Coach Pete Davenport (Dean Cain). Other additions include Adam Senn’s Zero, a God-loving player who has eyes for bad girl Jelena (played by scene-stealer Logan Browning); and Brent Antonello’s Jude, an ambitious junior agent with mysterious motives.
The show was last summer’s top-rated new scripted cable series among adults 18-49. Cain tells EW he expects the ratings to continue to rise. “It is scandalous and wonderful, there’s a lot of beautiful youngins, the drama is good, and it’s set in a really fun, glamorous world, so I think we’re gonna pick up steam,” he says. Cain gets his first sex scene of the season less than 10 minutes in. “It’s a little slow for us,” he jokes. How will Lionel factor into Pete’s existing love triangle on the show? “It’s more of a diamond shape now. We’re gonna go for an octagon, maybe see what happens,” he says, laughing. “Let’s put it this way, when he was a [basketball] player, Pete Davenport was a prolific scorer. And now as a coach and as a lover, Pete Davenport is a prolific scorer.”
While Pete’s “inner demons” will surface, drama finds others as well. Now single, his Devil Girl daughter Ahsha (Taylour Paige) will explore a relationship with star player Derek (McKinley Freeman). Devil Girl captain Jelena has it out for both Ahsha and Ahsha’s mother, Sloane (Kimberly Elise), who’s now Devil Girl Director.
