(CNN) -- Abigail Breslin looks like she's having the "time of her life" in the first look at ABC's "Dirty Dancing" remake.

The three-hour filmed musical is based on the classic 1987 movie starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.

Breslin plays Frances "Baby" Houseman, the character that Grey made famous.

The movie also stars newcomer Colt Prattes as dance instructor, Johnny Castle.

But this movie isn't entirely a remake. The film promises to answer questions left unanswered in the original, including what happened between Baby and Castle after their summer romance.

The promo guarantees the most famous line from the film made the cut: "Nobody puts Baby in the corner."

"Dirty Dancing" premieres May 24.
