On the heels of his latest show failure and a stressful divorce with child custody issues, producer Nick Blackburn reluctantly signs on to produce The Big Leap, in hopes of avoiding a lawsuit.
Teri Polo as Julia Perkins
Julia is a former ballerina who relies on social media for the attention she craves from her family and to prove that women of a certain age are not old. This may be her last chance to dance.
Jon Rudnitsky as Mike Devries
Mike lost his job two years previously when the auto plant where he worked shut down, and more recently, he lost his life when he spiraled into a depression. He hopes to win her back by performing on The Big Leap. Kevin Daniels as Wayne Fontaine Kevin, a former dancer, is the brainchild of the reality dance show, which brings together dancers from every age, background, and body type.

Paula is a high-powered corporate executive and the woman who cost Mike his job when she downsized the plant. She is recovering from health issues.
Ser’Darius Blain as Reggie Sadler
Reggie is a bad-boy professional football player on suspension, whom Nick believes could give the show the star power and controversy it needs to breakthrough.
Simone Recasner as Gabby Lewis
Gabby once dreamt of becoming a professional dancer, and even had a scholarship, but her dreams were sidelined when she got pregnant right out of high school.
Raymond Cham Jr. as Justin Calgrove
Justin is Gabby’s former dance partner and high school boyfriend…that is, until she caught him with another guy, forcing him to finally confront his sexuality. His father threw him out after the reveal, and like Gabby, Justin’s college dreams didn’t happen. In his case because of finances. Gabby reunites with him at the bowling alley where he is working.
