Prepare to strike again! The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders will return for season two in the Netflix documentary Sweethearts of America.
Directed by Emmy Award winner Greg Whiteley (“Cheer,” “Last Chance U”), “Love of America: The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader,” captures the team’s unfiltered life (and those who are eager to play) on the court and on the court. The series took a hit immediately when it debuted last spring, visiting Netflix’s top ten global rankings in the first four days on the platform, which allowed thousands of viewers to try those jump splits of flying high. Streaming updated the show last fall, type Exclusively revealed that it will debut seven new 60-minute episodes on June 18.
Season 2 will follow the 2024-2025 team led by Program Director Kelli Finglass and choreographer Judy Trammell, starting from start to finish – starting at auditions and training camps and continuing throughout the NFL season – a new trailer preview of all the blood, sweat, sweat and tears.
One of the favorites of the return is Reece Weaver, a winning rookie candidate who became a leading role in Season 1. Now she is a veteran, the series captures her wedding with boyfriend Will, who is also the first time.
"We're really happy that there are a lot of new girls. Every year, the talent is getting better and better," Weaver said. When the editor performed well in the ultra-competitive audition process, Weaver said. Another voice said: "We have been told that there are 100 girls who want to do this job."
Through the show, Verité filmmakers aim to reveal the human element of this highlight profession. In an interview type Shortly after the season 1 debut, Whiteley shared what he learned from witnessing the cheerleading performance. “The problem is, they spend a lot of time covering it up,” he said. “They take something extremely difficult to make it look elegant and relaxed, so you keep it out.”
He continued, "I remember thinking, 'If you know how difficult it is to do what these girls are doing! They ran a few hundred yards on the boots, smiled for two and a half minutes, they didn't sweat!' It was beautiful and edgy and cool, and people thought they just woke up and rolled down and did that."
When a woman was cut in last year’s trial or tried her luck again after auditioning at her mother’s DCC legacy, the trailer had no bones on it: making the team hard. On the team, maybe it's even harder. "We all do crazy things to get here," said one woman. "I have three jobs," another bell. "If you calculate DCC, four." (The Cheerleaders' trivial compensation was a topic that caused controversy in Season 1.)
It was a particularly powerful moment when DCC veteran Armani Latimer took off his wig and exposed his bald head before the show. Last December, Latimer danced without wigs for the first time since revealing his hair loss diagnosis to raise awareness of the cause. (According to Female Health, she was diagnosed with Areata at the age of 12). Latimer's fragile decision was national headlines at the time, and of course, Whiteley's cameras captured it all.
"America's Sweetheart" is produced by a potato making and boardwalk in collaboration with the bonfire studio. Whiteley executives work with Adam Leibowitz to produce a potato; and Andrew Fried and Dane Lillegard (Picture on the Boardwalk); Ross M. Dinerstein and Rebecca Evans (Bonfire Studio).
