More recently, van Keeken has created The New Step's companion show, the gymnastics drama My Perfect Landing (2020), which stars Jordan Clark (Giselle) as homeroom teacher/gymnastics coach Miss Allister; and his daughter Francesca as Rachel Osbourne, a character who is very similar to Margie from The Next Step. Van Keeken himself also makes an appearance as a bus driver in the show's penultimate episode "Hillside, Part 1".
Frank's daughter Francesca plays Margie, while his other daughter Chloe is a former crew member of The Next Step.
