In December 2019, it was announced that Netflix has ordered a “Cheer” docuseries. The cheerleading series is set to premiere in early 2020. Here’s what we know so far:

• Netflix has ordered a new docuseries from the Greg Whiteley, director of junior college football docuseries “Last Chance U.”
• “Cheer,” the six-episode docuseries follows the competitive cheerleaders of Navarro College in Corsicana, Texas.
• Here is Netflix’s official description:

Led by Monica Aldama, the small junior college has won 14 National Championships since 2000. The stakes on the mat are high, but for these athletes, the only thing more brutal than their workouts and more exceptional than their performances are the stories of adversity and triumph behind the team members themselves.

ver the course of six episodes, viewers will join the Navarro College cheerleaders as they face injuries, sacrifice, personal setbacks and triumphs, all leading up to one nail-biting and adrenaline pumping final competition at the National Championship.

But the most poignant moments are the ones that happen away from practice. A college cheerleader wrestles with the same issues any young person in college has to deal with, what our series shows is that off the mat issues can’t help but bleed onto the mat.

Showing the poetry between the exactness of their routines juxtaposed with the intricacies of their personal lives produces my favorite moments in the series and I’m excited for viewers to experience the gritty but beautiful world of Navarro College Cheer.”

“Cheer” is produced by One Potato Productions, Boardwalk Pictures and Caviar. Whiteley executive produces for One Potato. Adam Leibowitz serves as supervising producer, and Arielle Kilker and Chelsea Yarnell also produce.
