But before we can head back to Dallas, Texas, we need to catch up on what happened during the show&#8217;s first season. Keep scrolling for a quick recap of season 1 of the hit reality TV show <i>America&#8217;s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders <\/i>and learn what we know about its follow-up season.<\/p>\n<h2>Season 1 recap of \u2018America\u2019s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders\u2019<\/h2>\n<p><i>America\u2019s Sweethearts <\/i>debuted on Netflix in June this year and followed the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders from the final round of auditions through the end of the season. This came after the widely successful reality show <i>Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team<\/i>, which aired on CMT from 2006 to 2021.<\/p>\n<p>The Netflix show took a much different take, though, and showcased the cheerleaders in a more documentary-style light than a reality show. To do this, they highlighted five-year veteran Kelsey Wetterberg, four-year veterans Madeline Salter and Victoria Kalina, rookie candidates Reece Weaver, Anna Kate Sundvold, Camille Sturdivant, Kelly Villares and Charly Barby and alumni Caroline Sundvold and Kat Puryear.<\/p>\n<p>It also showcased the behind-the-scenes work that director Kelli McGonagill Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell have to put in.<\/p>\n<figure>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/3tlvTZgWM.gBbi5z0.GLXA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTU0MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/first_for_women_876\/f6b8a510d0ef639ba66a55eb75a79464\" alt=\"Everything We Know About Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Season 2\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" data-nimg=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><dialog aria-label=\"Modal Dialog\" aria-modal=\"true\"><\/dialog><\/div><figcaption>Kelli Finglass during \u2018Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders\u2019 Season 1<br \/>\nNetflix<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cThis is my 34th year as director. Things were more scrutinized [when I was a cheerleader], so I maybe inherited that a little bit. But I have moved away from that,\u201d Finglass said in June. \u201cI love how authentic and unique and different each cheerleader is. Obviously in rehearsals, it\u2019s all about performance and strength and stamina, and yeah, we want excellence there. I\u2019ve looked at things in a different lens both as a mom and a coach. And I\u2019ll continue to be better and sensitive as well, because at the end of the day, I\u2019m trying to motivate people and inspire them to perform their best.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think beauty comes in all shapes, forms, and sizes, skin tones and sexualities . And I guess that\u2019s as much as I can say about that. But I hope to be a better coach every year. I challenge myself with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Along with being director, Finglass has also been credited with creating a DCC Barbie, the swimsuit calendars and getting the cheerleader\u2019s uniforms in the Smithsonian Museum of American History\u2014all of which were highlighted in season one of the show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I got the job as director, I remember I had a yellow legal pad . I wish I could find it; it\u2019s in my head right now. And I just listed off all these exciting things I wanted to create with the cheerleaders,\u201d she explained. \u201cI started a letter campaign on that. I had a huge list of opportunities that I could do once I was given the job because my mind is a promotional, exhausting, advertising idea [type of] mind.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>What to expect from season 2 of the Netflix hit<\/h2>\n<p>Given how successful season 1 of\u00a0 <i>America&#8217;s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders <\/i>was, the announcement of the second season wasn\u2019t a surprise to anyone. As of now, it is expected to be the same as season 1 in the sense that it will follow the cheerleaders from the beginning of their season to the end.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that remains a mystery, though, is who the show will choose to feature this time. At the end of last season, Wetterberg and Kalina announced that they were retiring. On the other hand, Salter, Weaver, Sundvold, Sturdivant, Villares, and Barby are all on the team now, as confirmed by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Instagram, but it\u2019s unclear if Netflix will choose to showcase them again.<\/p>\n<p>As of the time of publication, season 2 doesn\u2019t have a specific release day in 2025, but you can stream <i>America&#8217;s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders <\/i>season 1 on Netflix right now.<\/p>\n<p>Or, if you want to go back to the beginning, you can also stream <i>Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team <\/i>on Paramount Plus .<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more movie and TV news, keep scrolling! <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2018Wednesday\u2019 Season 2 Is Coming!
