The American sweethearts clad in white and blue are returning for a second season on Netflix.
“America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders,” a docuseries about the legendary cheer team that captured the hearts of many in its first season, returns for season 2 on Netflix on June 18.
The show follows a group of hopefuls as they compete for a spot on the Dallas Cowboys Cheer Team, the pinnacle of professional cheerleading with an over six-decade history.
“There are, of course, the physics-defying kicks and jump splits of ‘Thunderstruck,’ the squad’s signature — and seriously difficult to master — routine set to the AC/DC song. And then, there are the tears and cheers as girls make or are cut from the final team,” per Netflix Tudum.
The legendary DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell return to screen a new class of prospective dancers vying for a spot on the team that will follow the Cowboys through the NFL’s 2024-25 season.
Here’s what we know about season 2 so far, including how to watch.
