Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Series Moves To Netflix

Netflix is heading to cheerleader try outs for its latest sports docuseries.

The streamer has ordered America’s Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

It comes after Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making The Team ended its 16 season run on Paramount cable network CMT in 2022. At that time, Cheerleader director Kelli Finglass, who is involved in the Netflix series, said that they were in the “process of negotiating a new partnership” on a “new platform”.

The series follows the 2023-24 Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders squad from start to finish — kicking off at auditions and training camp and continuing all the way through the NFL season.

It comes from director Greg Whiteley and the team behind Cheer and Last Chance U.

The seven-part series is led by Finglass as they open their doors to document the personal stories behind the uniforms.

It is produced by One Potato Productions and Boardwalk Pictures in association with Campfire Studios. Exec producers include Greg Whiteley and Adam Leibowitz of One Potato Productions; Andrew Fried and Dane Lillegard of Boardwalk Pictures; Ross M. Dinerstein and Rebecca Evans of Campfire Studios.

“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,” said Whiteley. “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.”

Dallas Mavericks’ Anthony Davis facing possible season-ending surgery on hand

Dallas Mavericks star big man Anthony Davis might be facing season-ending left hand surgery after being injured in Thursday night’s game against the Utah Jazz, ESPN reported on Friday.

Davis reportedly underwent an MRI exam on Friday that showed ligament damage in the hand. Davis reportedly will seek a second opinion to see if surgery is needed.

ESPN reported Davis would miss at least six weeks if surgery is avoided.

Davis was injured with 2:52 left in the 116-114 loss while defending Utah star Lauri Markkanen on a drive to the basket. Davis was in obvious pain after the play and left the contest with 2:08 remaining after he was holding the hand and unable to defend Markkanen’s next basket.

The timing of the injury could affect Dallas’ trade plans. The club reportedly planned to shop Davis prior to the 5 February trade deadline.

Davis hasn’t even been with the Mavericks for a year yet. He came over in the controversial and disastrous deal in which star Luka Dončić was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers.

Davis, who turns 33 in March, is making $54.1m this season. He is due to make $58.5m next season and has a player option for $62.8m in 2027-28.

Davis has played in just 29 games for the Mavericks – nine last season and 20 this season.

He is averaging 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds and 1.7 blocked shots this season. He is a 10-time All-Star.
