Is The Next Step: Cheer coming back?

The Next Step: Cheer is a high-energy spin-off of the popular live-action series The Next Step. It focuses on issues facing young adults and follows Kenzie, a fan-favorite character, as she takes on a new challenge—leading a struggling cheerleading squad with big dreams of making it to Nationals. The series explores her efforts to prove she is more than just a dancer, rally her mismatched team of athletes, and overcome rivalries while inspiring confidence and teamwork.

The show was a continuation of the franchise that first premiered in 2013. It was a drama series centered around cheerleading, teamwork, and personal growth, set in the context of competitive cheerleading competitions. The first season consisted of 20 episodes and was planned to follow Kenzie’s journey as she navigated the challenges of leading her team toward their goals.

The cast includes Emmerly Tinglin as Kenzie.
