NBC Orders Stumble Cheerleading Comedy Series for 2025

NBC has officially ordered the comedy series "Stumble" for the 2025-26 season, a mockumentary-style single-camera comedy centered on the competitive world of junior college cheerleading. Created and executive produced by siblings Jeff and Liz Astrof, the series stars Jenn Lyon as Courteney Potter, a determined cheer coach aiming for her 15th championship while uplifting her newly recruited team. The show also features Taran Killam, Ryan Pinkston, Jarrett Austin Brown, Anissa Borrego, Arianna Davis, Taylor Dunbar, Georgie Murphy, and recurring appearances by Kristin Chenoweth. "Stumble" is produced by Universal Television and Defining Eve Productions, with cheer coach Monica Aldama, known from Netflix's "Cheer," serving as an executive producer. It is expected to fill one of NBC's fall comedy slots alongside "The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins," with scheduling details pending. The series has been positively received internally, with strong testing results that helped secure its pickup amid NBC's efforts to complete its comedy lineup.
