Stumble Season 1 Finale: Will NBC Renew The Cheer Sitcom?
14 Mar
Summary
- The NBC sitcom 'Stumble' is concluding its first season on March 13.
- The cheerleading mockumentary is on the bubble for cancellation by NBC.
- Positive Rotten Tomatoes scores and internal support favor renewal.
The first season of NBC's cheerleading mockumentary, 'Stumble,' is concluding its run with its finale airing on March 13. The series, starring Jenn Lyon as Courteney, has explored the world of junior college cheerleading throughout its inaugural season. As the finale approaches, the show's future remains uncertain, with NBC yet to announce a renewal.
Reports from late February indicated that 'Stumble' was on the bubble for cancellation, identified as the network's lowest-rated scripted show for the season. It has not been a strong performer behind 'Happy's Place' on Friday nights. However, the series boasts a positive 82% critic score and a 94% viewer score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Factors supporting a potential renewal include strong internal backing from NBC and the first season reportedly coming in under budget. Co-showrunner Liz Astrof has shared positive sentiments about returning to network television and the benefits of a weekly release model, contrasting it with shows that have extended hiatuses.
Fans are awaiting an official decision from NBC regarding whether Courteney and her squad will return for a second season in the fall. The finale will be available for streaming on Peacock the day after its broadcast.
