The producers behind Netflix\u2019s breakout hit Cheer didn\u2019t go into Season 2 with a plan on what to cover \u2014 and fortunately they didn\u2019t have to. The show\u2019s massive success and how fame impacted head coach Monica Aldama became the tale to tell, and whether it would put her competitive cheer team at Navarro Community College in Texas at a disadvantage.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think anybody knew that this show was gonna be so big. I certainly didn\u2019t. It\u2019s cheerleading. It has a stereotype,\u201d said Aldama, speaking at Deadline\u2019s Contenders Television: Documentary + Unscripted event along with the docuseries\u2019 director\/executive producer Greg Whiteley and Vontae Johnson, head coach of rival Trinity Valley Community College. \u201cI was just hoping people in the cheer community would watch it. I had zero expectation and we basically went from zero to 100 really fast. None of us were prepared for it in any form or fashion. We got invited to go on Ellen. That was a moment where you\u2019re like, \u2018Whoa, this is really way bigger than maybe I even knew it could ever be.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut at the same time, there was a lot of chatter from media that we were not gonna be focused \u2026 with everything that was going on,\u201d continued Aldama, who got a gig on Season 29 of Dancing with the Stars because of the fame (she placed 10th). \u201cAnd yes, I was working 14-hour days because I was doing interviews and people were pulling us in all directions, but at the same time, we were so determined to prove everybody wrong. We, when we went inside the gym, we were completely focused on our job of getting ready for Daytona.\u201d<\/p>\n
Netflix has yet to announce a third season of Cheer.<\/p>\n
