High Strung Free Dance follows Zander Raines (Thomas), a dazzling and tempestuous young choreographer who gives the break of a lifetime to two hopeful artists when he casts a stunning contemporary dancer, Barlow (Juliet) and innovative pianist, Charlie (Jarvis) in New York’s most-anticipated new Broadway show: Free Dance. But the move throws off the show’s delicate creative balance when Charlie falls hard for Barlow while Zander embraces her as his muse.

Since there are already three A Christmas Prince movies, and a sequel for The Princess Switch coming, there’s no reason not to expect one for The Knight Before Christmas, right? Especially when it could center around Harry Jarvis‘s character, Sir Geoffrey.
Director Monika Mitchell spoke to Glamour about the possibility for a second movie revolving around the knight, and younger brother of Josh Whitehouse‘s Sir Cole.
“Of course I can see a sequel. I think Harry Jarvis is definitely involved because the [witch] is there to present him with yet another medallion,” she shared with the magazine.
If you haven’t seen the movie, go do that now! If you have, you most likely saw the end credits scene where the witch in the woods comes upon Sir Geoffrey, and asks him for help, all while holding that infamous medallion.
“We don’t know who’s coming back through time. We don’t know if he’s gonna go visit his brother. We don’t know if Josh and Vanessa [Hudgens] would come back and help him out. Maybe some other young lady comes back through time. We’ll have to see what the audience responds to,” Monika added.
TELL JJJ: Would you want to see a Knight Before Christmas sequel with Harry?
You probably first fell in love with Harry Jarvis when you watched him in High Strung: Free Dance, and then a whole lot more when you saw him in Netflix’s The Knight Before Christmas, are we right?
Well, now’s your chance to get to know the 22-year-old British actor even better with JJJ‘s 10 Fun Facts!
Harry stars as Josh Whitehouse‘s younger brother Sir Geoffrey in the new Netflix holiday movie, which also stars Vanessa Hudgens and is streaming now on the service.

I started acting in school when I was 8 and my first ever performance was a school production of the Shakespeare play Henry VIII where I played Henry. 8 year olds are not the best at Shakespeare…

High Strung: Free Dance centers on Zander Raines (Thomas Doherty), a dazzling and tempestuous young choreographer who gives the break of a lifetime to two hopeful artists when he casts a stunning contemporary dancer, Barlow (Juliet) and innovative pianist, Charlie (Jarvis) in New York’s most-anticipated new Broadway show: Free Dance.
Thomas spoke to Teen Vogue recently about the movie, revealing he was feeling quite intimidated on set.
“Honestly, the most challenging part was telling all these amazing dancers they were bad and shouting at them. I felt so weird,” Thomas shared. “I trained in contemporary and ballet, but not at this level. These people are pros.”
He added, “I think someone had danced with Beyoncé. I was just pretending to know I knew what I was talking about. After the breaks, I would apologize to them.”
The flick is set to premiere in theaters on October 11th.
The 24-year-old actor recently opened up to Teen Vogue about his upcoming role in High Strung Free Dance.
In the movie, Thomas plays Zander, a “dazzling young choreographer” who works with dancer Barlow (played by Juliet Doherty — who isn’t related to Thomas) and pianist Charlie (Harry Jarvis) on Broadway’s highly anticipated musical, Free Dance.
Thomas revealed that he originally auditioned to play Charlie before he landed the role of Zander, who Thomas describes as “an egotistical madman.”
“I wasn’t right for Charlie but I was right for Zander,” he said, before explaining that Zander is very different from the “boy-next-door kind of characters” he’s played in the past.
“Zander’s quite a complex character,” Thomas said. “He’s nothing like me. I’m quite a chill, laid-back person, but he’s focused, on, and very ambitious. He’s passionate about his dancing and choreographing.”
High Strung Free Dance is a sequel to 2016’s High Strung and is set to hit theaters October 11th.
