Trailer: Netflix Hit Series CHEER Returning for Season 2

The hit Netflix series Cheer is set to return for a second season, and the streamer has released a trailer for fans to enjoy. It looks like there’s going to be another major showdown this season between Navarro College and Trinity Valley. The season will also tackle the arrest of Season 1’s most beloved student, Jerry Harris, who was charged with multiple federal sexual misconduct charges, including soliciting child pornography.

Coach Monica Aldama talks about hearing the news in the trailer, saying, “I can’t even, like, process it right now.” Same, Monica, same.

The second season of Cheer began secretly filming in January 2020, after the explosion of popularity that was the first season. The new season was also to focus on the coach and cheerleading squad of Navarro arch-rival Trinity Valley Community College. Production was shut down because of COVID-19 in March, and the 2020 NCAA National Championship, the Super Bowl of cheerleading, which Navarro won in the show’s first season, was, of course, canceled. Filming began again in September 2020.

Aldama will be featured in the second season with returning students Lexi Brumback, La’Darius Marshall, Morgan Simianer, and Gabi Butler, as well as new Navarro competitors. Also joining the cast are TVCC’s coach Vontae Johnson, his assistant coach Khris Franklin and members of that squad. The second season of Cheer will be nine episodes, expanded from the six in Season 1.

The logline for Season 2 is as follows:

“The Emmy-winning breakout sensation is back, and the stakes have never been higher. As Navarro defends its championship crown against a slew of challenges, including their fiercest rivals at Trinity Valley Community College, unexpected events threaten the camaraderie of the team and the season itself.”

I can’t wait for this next season, so it’s awesome that it’s only weeks away. Check out the trailer below, and watch Cheer when it hits Netflix on January 12th.
