It’s time to get your hot pants out and press play on "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC—America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season 2 is officially here. The popular docuseries, which follows veterans and hopefuls through the audition process for making the squad of one of America’s most storied institutions, returns without missing a beat. Like season 1, the new episodes illustrate both the glamour and the ugliness that goes into being one of 36 young women selected to put on the famed uniform, as well as their fight for more pay equity with the football team. (As revealed by the final episode of season 2, released June 18, 2025, the dancers have earned a 400% pay increase.)
Across the seven new episodes that focus on the 2024 season, we get glimpses of fan favorites from season 1—like Victoria, who departed for New York and a chance at The Rockettes, and Reece, who returned as a veteran—but the second season centers its focus on an entirely different cast of cheerleaders. Ahead, we break down the journeys of the most prominent veterans, rookies, and alums this season, including whether we’ll see these faces on the field again.
