On May 1, NBC canceled freshman comedy Stumble after a single season.
The comedic mockumentary about the high stakes of junior college cheerleading was canceled along with Brilliant Minds, as per Variety. According to the publication, waning viewership was a factor. The March finale will be the series’ final episode.
The show premiered on Friday, November 7, 2025, and released six episodes before pausing for the winter break. The show stars Jenn Lyon as Courteney Potter, alongside multiple award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth, who plays Potter’s former assistant coach, Tammy Istiny, as a recurring guest star.
Stumble was connected to the Netflix docuseries Cheer through Monica Aldama, the Navarro College coach who served as an executive producer and consultant for the sitcom.
Is Stumble renewed for Season 2?
No. As of May 1, the show was officially canceled by NBC.
Ratings-wise, though, Stumble‘s first season has been lackluster. It has so far averaged 1.777 million viewers per episode, with a .16 rating in the key demographic of 18-49 year olds. (By contrast, St. Denis Medical has notched 2.445 million viewers with a .31 rating.)
How many Stumble episodes are there?
There are 13 episodes in the first season of Stumble. All 13 episodes of the series are currently available to stream on Peacock.
Who is in the Stumble cast?
The series stars Lyon as Coach Courteney Potter, a college cheer coach from Texas who lost everything after being fired for drinking with her cheer squad. Potter then settles for a new job at Headlston State Junior College. As Potter settles into her role, Chenoweth guest stars as Coach Tammy, Potter’s former deputy, who takes Potter’s place as her former cheer squad’s coach. Taran Killam plays Potter’s love interest, Coach Boon. The cast also includes Ryan Pinkston, Jarrett Austin Brown, Anissa Borrego, Arianna Davis, Taylor Dunbar, and Georgie Murphy.
