As a lifelong fan of both cinema and the world of professional sports, I must say that “America’s Sweethearts: The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders” has truly stolen my heart! The first season was an exhilarating ride that managed to captivate audiences worldwide, leaving us all longing for more.
The popular docuseries “America’s Sweethearts: The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders” has been granted a second season on Netflix.
The inaugural season of this documentary series, showcasing the genuine lives of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders both on and off the playing field, left viewers in awe – or at least eager to master the steps of the DCC’s iconic pre-game dance routine.
Under the guidance of Emmy-winning director Greg Whitley (“Cheer,” “Last Chance U”), the series “America’s Sweethearts” premiered on June 20 and quickly climbed to the top 10 worldwide chart on Netflix, amassing 2.3 million views in its first four days. The show stayed on the list of the top 10 US TV shows for five consecutive weeks and made it into the top 10 in 27 countries. The popular “Thunderstruck” routine sparked a viral TikTok dance challenge, with over 10,000 videos using its sound, and thousands of people participating in the pom-pom shaking dance – although only a few dared to attempt the challenging high-flying jump split, further cementing the squad’s reputation as “often imitated, never equaled.
Season 1 followed the 2023-24 DCC squad, led by program director Kelli Finglass and choreographer Judy Trammell with “main characters” including veterans Kelcey Wetterberg and Victoria Kalina (who had appeared on the long-running reality series “Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team”) and winsome rookies like Reece Weaver, who is front and center in the announcement teaser. Season 2 will follow the 2024-2025 squad from start to finish — kicking off at auditions and training camp and continuing all the way through the ongoing NFL season.
During a conversation with EbMaster soon after the show’s premiere, Whiteley discussed his team’s efforts throughout the season to portray the genuine experiences of the cheerleaders. His intention was to peel back some layers to uncover the true individuals beneath the polished exterior – from the pain, exhaustion, and injuries they suffer, to the emotional strain of dealing with overenthusiastic fans, stalkers, and receiving questionably low pay.
Whiteley noted that the issue lies in their ability to hide how challenging the task truly is. They transform something incredibly difficult into an elegant and effortless display, which makes one underestimate its complexity. He was baffled by the fact that they manage to run several hundred yards in boots within two-and-a-half minutes, all while maintaining a smile, seemingly without exertion. This leaves people with the impression that they simply wake up and casually perform these feats.
As a passionate cinephile, I was eagerly looking forward to diving back into Season 2. The final two or three weeks of filming felt like we were finding our rhythm. I yearn for the opportunity to delve even further, exploring more layers with an increasing number of our talented cast and crew.
The “America’s Sweethearts” series further strengthens Netflix’s connection with the Dallas Cowboys, as they are collaborating on another documentary series delving into the team’s history and their owner Jerry Jones. Moreover, Netflix is set to host a live boxing event featuring Jake Paul and Mike Tyson at AT&T Stadium, the Cowboys’ home stadium, on November 15th.
America’s Sweethearts” is jointly produced by One Potato Productions and Boardwalk Pictures, in collaboration with Campfire Studios. Whiteley serves as the executive producer alongside Adam Leibowitz from One Potato Productions. Additionally, Andrew Fried and Dane Lillegard are involved from Boardwalk Pictures, while Ross M. Dinerstein and Rebecca Evans contribute from Campfire Studios.
