Netflix premeired America's Sweethearts in June 2024, picking up the concept of a series that follows the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders through auditions and training and the NFL season after Making the Team aired the same events on CMT for a total of 16 seasons. Now, Netflix has announced that the cheerleaders are back for a second season.

Netflix had this to say about the second season of the hit series: "Season 2 will follow the 2024-25 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders squad from start to finish -- kicking off at auditions and training camp and continuing all the way through the NFL season."

The first season followed auditions and followed the existing team as well as the new members through training, watching as they learned and perfected all the routines and learned about the intense list of rules that the cheerleaders have to follow.

Those rules have always been super strict and they remain that way even in the modern day. Some of the rules they have to follow include wearing their hair down even at practice, not having any atttoos visible in their signature outfits, and they have to keep their makeup natural but glamourous.

The first season of America's Sweethearts had seven episodes, but Netflix hasn't announced how many episodes the second season will be getting. For comparison, CMT's series Making the Team had around eight episodes per season with season 14 being the outlier with 13 episodes. It's likely that season 2 will probably follow suit with the first season and have around seven or eight episodes following the 2024-25 team of cheerleaders.

Netflix has yet to announce an official date for when the season will be premiering, but they did say that it will be coming to the streaming service in 2025. Catch up on the first season on Netflix and check out the trailer for season 2 below.
