The third film opens with Mike in a precarious condition, with a bad business deal stripping him of any support whatsoever. As a result, he takes bartender gigs in Florida, where he meets a wealthy socialite who provides him with the opportunity to return to the stage in London.

All about Magic Mike's previous installments
The first film in the franchise, Magic Mike, was released in 2012, and explored the story of Mike Lane, an experienced stripper who worked in an all-male dance group and trained a young teen to make a profit while having fun.
Three years later, in 2015, the franchise stepped in with another film, Magic Mike XXL. The second installment explored Lane’s life after his exit from the exotic dance industry at the peak of success. The film features him deciding to team up with his fellow dancers once more in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
Given that the title for the latest installment is Magic Mike’s Last Dance, it is likely that the movie will mark Channing Tatum’s farewell to this semi-autobiographical stripper persona after more than ten years.
However, the good news for fans is that in July 2022 it was announced that developments were ongoing for more films in the franchise based on other characters.
