The Netflix reality series premiered in June 2024, and the most recent batch of episodes — season 3 — debuted in June 2026. America's Sweethearts follows the squad through practices, performances and the big games, making stars out of the supportive dancers who cheer on the famous football team.

Home of the DCC have packed up their pom-poms following the most recent football season, including Reece Weaver, who became a fan favorite after season 1.

"I have had such a time trying to figure out what I was going to do, but I had so much peace that I was supposed to take a leap of faith," the Florida native told PEOPLE in June 2026. "And I hope that it encourages anyone, everyone who feels like they're ready to take a leap as well."

Here are some of the stars of America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders in their first appearances on the show and in the most recent season.

"If another show or some sort of opportunity comes with filming in the future, I would still take that up," she told PEOPLE in June 2026. "But I think right now it's just going to be really special for Will and I to just be able to dream together and figure out what's next for us and our future."
