'America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' renewed for third season

Netflix renews 'America’s Sweethearts' for Season 3, following the iconic Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders through auditions, training, and the NFL season.

"The world of DCC is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to stories to be told. – Greg Whiteley"

Washington DC, August 18

'America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' has been renewed for the third season, reported Variety. It will debut in 2026.

Directed by Emmy winner Greg Whiteley, 'America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' follows the dancers from auditions to their gruelling training camp and through the entire NFL season, according to Variety.

Production on Season 3 is currently underway, and the new episodes are focused on the newly formed 2025-26 squad, led by longtime senior director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell, as they prepare for the NFL season to kick off next month, according to the outlet.

"The world of DCC is an embarrassment of riches when it comes to stories to be told," stated Whiteley, whose cameras capture every unfiltered moment. "I'm grateful our crew has another season to keep telling them."

Netflix announced the new season on their Instagram handle.

The first two seasons of 'America's Sweethearts' have been a massive global hit for Netflix, with millions tuning in to learn more about the women who don the DCC's star-spangled, high-heeled boots, reported Variety.

Whiteley's series wipes away some of their perfect facade to reveal what it's really like to be a professional cheerleader, as they navigate the squad's immense popularity and strict protocols while grappling with injuries and mental health challenges, among other stressors.

Season 2 -- which featured a group of veterans fighting for, and ultimately earning, a major raise for future squads -- launched last June and debuted in the top 10 English TV list in 19 countries, with 3.3 million views in its first week on the platform, reported Variety.

My wife and I binge-watched both seasons! It's fascinating to see the behind-the-scenes pressure. Reminds me of our Indian reality shows but with more athleticism.

While I enjoy the show, I wish they'd show more of the actual football games too. The cheerleading is impressive but context matters. Still, great entertainment for family weekends!

The pay raise storyline in S2 was everything! 👏 So proud of those women fighting for what they deserve. Corporate India could learn from this - equal pay for equal work!

2026 feels so far away! But quality content takes time. Hope they maintain the same raw, unfiltered approach that made the first two seasons so compelling.
