Photo: Cheer Season 2 ‘Cheer’ season 2 is doing what many other shows cannot, evolving without completely reinventing. Perhaps this is thanks to the competitive nature and premise of the show, a drama series about competitive cheerleading, and the amount of surprising skill and dedication that goes into perfecting the sport. And yes, the characters and creators classify the bone-tiring, technique-dependent, and highly competitive actions of the protagonist cheerleaders as a sport. Especially with new prestigious spots opening up on the team, the fighting for said coveted spot gets fiercer as the season progresses. The production team has to not only consider this but also find an accurate and realistic way to capture the past two years of the careers and lives of the different rosters. The new roster includes Jerry Harris, Lexi Brumback, Gabi Butler, Monica Aldama and Morgan Simianer who are all various athletes competing on the show. Related article:...

After two long years, Netflix's Cheer is back with more stunts, drama, and a new competitor. On Tuesday, the streamer casually dropped a trailer for the second season, which officially debuts on Jan. 12, 2022. By the looks of it, the upcoming nine episodes give us an update on Navarro Cheer - and its head coach Monica Aldama and star members like Gabi Butler, LA'Darius Marshall, Lexi Brumback, and Morgan Simianer - and how they've dealt with their newfound fame, Covid-19-related challenges, and a rival team fighting just as hard for the Daytona championship.
The trailer also offers a look at how the team is moving forward after a serious allegation against former team member and Cheer breakout star Jerry Harris. Harris was arrested in September 2020 on a federal child pornography charge and faces seven additional counts of child sexual exploitation and abuse.

A lot has happened since Netflix first introduced the world to Navarro College’s cheerleading squad in “Cheer.” The docuseries won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Structured Reality Program, as well as legions of fans taken with the grit, determination, and optimism of the student athletes. There was the Covid-19 pandemic, which brought filming on the second season to a halt in 2020. But there were also the federal sexual misconduct allegations brought against Season 1 breakout star Jeremy Harris. Now, a trailer for the long-delayed second season seems to show that the series will address the fallout of those allegations head on.
Netflix announced December 28 that “Cheer” Season 2 will premiere all nine episodes on the streamer January 12. Returning are Navarro’s coach Monica Aldama, as well as Lexi Brumback, Gabi Butler, La’Darius Marshall, and Morgan Simianer.

Variety can exclusively reveal that on Jan. 12, Netflix will drop a second season of “Cheer,” its Emmy-winning docuseries about the cheerleading team from Navarro College. Season 1, which premiered in January 2020, turned Navarro coach Monica Aldama and members of her team — especially Lexi Brumback, La’Darius Marshall, Morgan Simianer, Jerry Harris and (the already well-known) Gabi Butler — into celebrities, both for better and for worse. Last year, Harris was arrested for multiple federal sexual misconduct charges, including soliciting child pornography. According to Netflix, “Cheer” deals with the allegations against Harris up front, and in an episode that focuses on the misconduct accusations, the brothers who first came forward about Harris are interviewed.
Among other elements of the season, the trailer for the second season shows Harris’ teammates — and Aldama — dealing with the aftermath of his arrest. “I can’t even, like, process it right now,” Aldama says.

Cheer, the six-part Netflix docuseries about an elite collegiate cheerleading squad, has a winning formula that’s made it TV’s first breakout hit of 2020: small-town athletics, Texas kitsch, and beautiful young girls in pain. In the three weeks since it premiered, coverage of the show has blanketed the internet and taken over social media — reviews, quizzes, essays, memes. It’s even gotten the Saturday Night Live treatment, a recent skit that reduces its appeal to thick Southern drawls and cringe-inducing injuries.
