The 2025 TV schedule isn't out of fall premieres just yet, and one of just two new sitcoms of the season is set to premiere in exactly one week. Stumble is a new mockumentary following the world of junior college cheerleading, with a home on NBC's updated comedy lineup. The comedy, which stars Jenn Lyon, SNL's Taran Killam, and Kristin Chenowith, will be paired with Reba McEntire's Happy's Place on Friday nights, and co-showrunners Jeff and Liz Astrof opened up about being "flattered" and "thrilled" with the time slot.
Between them, the sibling co-showrunners have produced for a long list of hit sitcoms including The King of Queens, 2 Broke Girls, The New Adventures of Old Christine, and Trial & Error. Stumble will take them in a new direction, with junior college cheerleading at the center of the comedy and the motley crew of athletes – or "athletes," as the case may be for some of them – who want to win a championship. Stumble and CBS' DMV are the only freshman sitcoms on network TV this fall.
