USA TODAY's TV critic Kelly Lawler breaks down the best TV shows you don't to want to miss this summer
The search to find America's (newest) Sweethearts will kick off shortly.
"America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders," a docuseries about the legendary cheer team, returns for its second season on Netflix June 18.
The show follows a group of hopefuls as they compete for a spot on the Dallas Cowboys Cheer Team, the pinnacle of professional cheerleading.
"There are, of course, the physics-defying kicks and jump splits of 'Thunderstruck,' the squad's signature — and seriously difficult to master — routine set to the AC/DC song. And then, there are the tears and cheers as girls make or are cut from the final team," per Tudum.
The big difference between this season and the last is that the pool of dancers auditioning to accompany the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) through the National Football League's 2024-25 season is that most of them are rookies. Only 23 of 36 veterans will be re-auditioning for a spot.
"From Emmy Award-winning director Greg Whiteley and the team behind 'Cheer' and 'Last Chance U,' the fan-favorite series will return to continue giving viewers unfiltered access into this iconic team and franchise," according to Netflix.
Here's what we know about Season 2 so far, including how to watch.

What's 'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' Season 2 about?
This season picks up ahead of the final round of auditions for the 2024-2025 squad and follows the 36 women who get selected through training camp, cuts, the official team announcement and into the NFL season, according to Tudum.
"This season dives deeper into the stories, sisterhood, and sacrifices of the women who wear the stars on and off the field," reads a description of the show. "Get ready for new faces, high stakes, and raw emotion as these athletes redefine what it means to shine under pressure."
Which 'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' are returning for Season 2?
It seemingly takes a village to put together a cheer team, especially one as iconic as this one.
"This time around, DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell work to build yet another impressive team of talented athletes who can wow the world with their high kicks and jump splits as AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' blasts throughout AT&T Stadium," according to Tudum.
Only 23 of 36 veterans are trying out for the team this season, which means DCC will have a larger pool of rookies who are vying for a spot to ultimately make the team.
Finglass and Trammel whittled down the nearly 500 new submissions they received to determine the group of hopefuls, made up of veterans and rookies, who will formally audition for a spot on the team.

Born in Detroit in 1944, Ziskie was an athlete throughout college and went on to be a crewman on a Great Lakes freighter before moving into acting. According to his obituary, Ziskie's 'love for performance led him to the Second City of Chicago,' alongside major names such as John Belushi, Brian Doyle-Murray and Joe Flaherty.

3 great BritBox shows you should watch in August 2025
Although the U.K. film industry is not as large as its American counterpart, you sometimes find that the shows they make over there are at least as good as the average show made in Hollywood. If you're exhausted by American television, then BritBox might be the ideal solution. The streaming service exports everything that the Brits make for American audiences, and as a result, it has plenty of shows you've probably heard of, as well as a few you probably haven't. We've pulled together a list of three more obscure shows that are worth your time and can all be streamed on BritBox now. Recommended Videos We also have guides to the best new movies to stream, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on HBO Max, and the best movies on Disney+. House of Cards (1990) The British antecedent to the American series of the same name, House of Cards is very much about the same things in both versions. The four-episode miniseries follows a member of the U.K.'s Conservative Party who manipulates his way into power after being brushed aside. The series has a particularly Machiavellian view of politics, but it is undeniably a thrilling reminder of the way some politicians are always trying to find ways to amass more power. Anchored by a brilliant performance from Ian Richardson, the show was hugely influential for decades after its release. You can watch House of Cards on BritBox. Flowers (2016-2018) Olivia Colman is one of the great actresses of her generation, and Flowers is the type of comedy where she can excel. The series follows the eccentric Flowers family and dives into their family dynamics. It examines which members are suspicious of one another and which seem to be in constant competition. It's the kind of thing that we rarely get in the United States. Flowers seems to argue that all families are pretty messed up, even if most of their problems are relatively mundane when pulled apart. You can watch Flowers on BritBox. Waking the Dead (2000-2011) A long-running detective series in the style of American crime procedurals, Waking the Dead follows a group of detectives who utilize new technologies to solve cases that have gone cold. Like any procedural, Waking the Dead ultimately lives and dies based on the charisma of its central cast. Thankfully, this cast has it in spades. Over the course of nine seasons, we see them solve all sorts of cases. Waking the Dead is comforting precisely because it's conventional and because its quality is so high. You can watch Waking the Dead on BritBox.

Jerry Jones was surprised Netflix omitted the Troy Aikman/Steve Walsh storyline
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has a note or two for Netflix. In an interview with Ben Fischer of Sports Business Journal, Jones expressed surprise over the decision of producers of the soon-to-be-released Cowboys documentary to overlook one specific aspect of the formation of the Cowboys team that won three Super Bowls in the 1990s. Jones expected the eight-part series to address the team's decision to use a first-round pick in the 1989 supplemental draft on Miami quarterback Steve Walsh, weeks after investing the first overall pick in the 1989 draft on UCLA quarterback Troy Aikman. The tension sparked by the selection of Walsh was, per Jones, 'the most trying time of all and I was surprised they missed that.' It really was a battle. In September 1990, Walsh was traded to the Saints. He appeared in 80 regular-season games with 38 starts, but he never achieved anything close to the success Aikman enjoyed. Walsh finished with 7,785 passing yards, 40 passing touchdowns, 50 interceptions, and a passer rating of 66.4. For the Cowboys, it ended up being a footnote. But there's an interesting alternate reality in which Walsh had become the starter. Would the Cowboys have won three Super Bowls? Would they have won even one? And what would Aikman have become if he'd been traded to the Saints a year later?
