Cheer season 2 trailer teases a tough season for team Navarro
The second season of Netflix's Emmy-winning docuseries arrives on January 12
TV News Cheer
If you’re planning on kicking off a new fitness program for your 2022 new year’s resolution, inspiration is on the way (or at least, an inspirational series to view on the treadmill). Netflix announced today that its Emmy-winning series Cheer (including Outstanding Unstructured Reality Program) will return for a second season on January 12.
The first season of Cheer featured the 2019 national cheerleading championships. The same competition was cancelled for 2020 due to COVID, so season two will see our favorite Navarro College tumblers and flyers attempting to re-win their title after a yearlong absence, while also dealing with the new level of celebrity that resulted from them starring in the first season.
In the accompanying trailer, we see that season one contenders like Gabi, Lexi, Morgan, and La’Darius have some new struggles as the reigning cheer champs from Corsicana, Texas, attempt to defend their crown yet again. The worst of these, mentioned in the trailer, is that fact that series breakout star Jerry Harris has since been arrested in separate criminal cases related to alleged sexual misconduct involving minors, which head cheer coach Monica Aldama is clearly having trouble processing.
Also, it appears that season two will also feature a David to Navarro’s Goliath: the cheerleaders of Trinity Valley Community College—headed by coach Vontae Johnson and featuring teammate Angel Rice, a.k.a. “the Simone Byles of cheerleading”—who lost to Navarro in 2019.
It should be interesting to see the varying coaching/practice styles of the two Texas teams as they gear up once again for the most important two minutes of their entire lives. Sure, a simple Google search will tell you which team actually won the 2021 championship, but where’s the fun in that? Get ready for the toughest cheerleading season yet when Cheer season two drops on Netflix on January 12. It might even spur you on to the next tougher level on that treadmill.

Any more kids getting sexually assaulted this season?Because if no, then I’ll pass.
I’m starting to think this is never going to turn into a prequel series for Cheers.
Gonna have to wait until season 3 for Frasier Crane’s origin story as a college counselor.
He’s like the Where’s Waldo of TV series characters.
I always thought Detective Munch was the Where’s Waldo of TV characters.
Maybe they end a routine in a human pyramid shouting unanimously, “Norm!”
Norman.
Just once I’d love to see them beat Gary’s Olde Towne Tavern in Daytona!
They’re saving that for the final episode. Sam signs a lease on the bar, while shaking his head and saying, “Boy, making your way in the world today takes everything you got…”Cue piano music.
Right before she fell from the top of that human pyramid, her last words to me were that I should open a bar where everyone knows your name. Now I just need to come up with a name…
Those poor kids are being used and abused.
Isn’t Navarro a community college, meaning students enrolled there full-time in 2019 would be gone??Regardless, these people are nuts. Our local orthopedist who treats the athletes from our Houston high school says the ugliest injuries he sees are from competitive cheer. More than football.
This guy thinks people pass all their classes on the first try LOL
What your orthopedist isn’t accounting for are all the far more serious injuries that happen to people who didn’t do cheer, because they lack the requisite balancing-on-other-people’s-hands skills and experience with being thrown up in the air and caught and thus face near-certain spinal injury when they’re (inevitably) called upon to do so.
oh yah the show tackles lots that cheering is the most dangerous sport. and I think some of the kids upgrade their degrees, seems a lot follow similar education paths so they get the most duration out of their cheer career.
Pretty sure it was covered that a lot of these people stay in college just so they can stay in cheer. why? because the only career path for them is to coach cheer once their bodies cant physically handle the stunts anymore.
Not sure why she’s so unsure how to act, the coach has had some practice in how to feel with one of her team members being a sexual predator given two other guys she coached have done the same thing.
My first thought reading the headline was, “Are they going to address the Jerry Harris situation?”, and there it is, right in the trailer. Which is of course the right thing to do, but that didn’t guarantee it was going to happen.
Wait, this isn’t about people having hi-jinks in a New England bar?
I wonder what the Navarro College mascot is? Something really sensitive, like “The Bloodthirsty Injun”.
Guess you didn’t bother to check and just threw shade. Why would the Bulldogs have a Bloodthirsty Injun? It’s a Bulldog.
