Summary
- Siblings Jeff and Liz Astroff create "Stumble," a cheer mockumentary series
- Inspired by Netflix's "Cheer," the show follows a ragtag team of junior college cheerleaders
- 16-time national champ Monica Aldama serves as executive producer, ensuring authenticity
In November 2025, siblings Jeff and Liz Astroff are making waves in the world of competitive cheer with their new comedy series "Stumble." The show, which premiered last month on NBC, is inspired by the hit Netflix docuseries "Cheer" and follows a ragtag team of junior college cheerleaders as they compete for a national championship.
The Astroffs, who were self-proclaimed "Cheer" superfans, were determined to bring the high-stakes drama of competitive cheer to life on the small screen. To ensure authenticity, they convinced 16-time national champion Monica Aldama to come on board as an executive producer. Aldama's involvement has been crucial, as she has provided guidance on everything from the cheerleading stunts to the show's overall tone.
"Stumble" centers around Courtney, a former head coach who is determined to rebuild her career after being fired for misconduct. Desperate for a team, she assembles a group of misfits, including a cheerleader with narcolepsy and a washed-up football player. Despite the challenges, the team is driven to prove themselves on the national stage.
The Astroffs' passion for underdog stories shines through in "Stumble," as they explore the personal struggles and triumphs of their characters. With Aldama's guidance, the show promises to deliver an authentic and hilarious look at the world of competitive junior college cheer.
