The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are set to be the subject of their own Netflix series, premiering later this week.
America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders follows the iconic squad “from auditions to training camp and the NFL season as they chase their dreams and a coveted spot on the squad.”
“The kind of access and creative freedom we need to make the kind of work we want to make is not easy to come by — especially when dealing with a brand as large as the Dallas Cowboys,” director Greg Whiteley told Netflix. “To their infinite credit, the Cowboys offered unfettered access for the year we filmed the DCC and left us alone. The result is an authentic portrait of one of the most storied and beloved institutions we have in American pop culture.”
The first episode of the show will drop this Thursday, June 20. The Cowboys cheerleaders X/Twitter account teased its release today.
“Patiently waiting for America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders to drop like…” the account tweeted, along with a photo of one of the women on the squad.

This season of America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders will chronicle the 2023-24 NFL season, which ended with Dallas losing to the Green Bay Packers in the first round of the NFC Playoffs.
The Cowboys have won 36 regular season games and the NFC East twice in the last three seasons under Mike McCarthy, but have managed only one postseason win in four tries.
