A refresher on all the cheerleaders returning to America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.

Last year, Netflix's docuseries America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders offered a look inside one of the most competitive cheerleading squads in the NFL.

The show followed the 2023-2024 season, chronicling the nail-biting journey from auditions, through training camp, and into the football season. It was a viral hit.

Created by Greg Whiteley, the filmmaker behind Cheer, the seven-part series offered unprecedented access to the world of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: especially the intense physical and emotional challenges faced by both rookies and veterans as they compete for coveted spots on the squad.

The documentary delved into various aspects of the cheerleaders' lives, including the pressure to maintain a perfect image, the rigorous training regimen, the safety concerns the women have and the shockingly low salaries they make for their high-profile roles.

After retiring last year, Victoria will not be returning for the second season. Another fan favourite, Kelcey, has also retired — though she's still on the scene for 'all-star' moments.

"Five years was the perfect amount of time for me," Kelcey shared on Instagram, when a fan asked if she wished she could've stayed longer. "I will always miss parts of it, but I really felt at peace leaving."

Some familiar faces from season one, like Reece and Anna Kate, have already been confirmed to be back in training camp. And some rookies who missed out last season have made the 24-25 team, such as Kelly and Charly.

Charly celebrated the news on Instagram.

"My literal dream come true!!!! I would not change a thing and honoured does not even describe how I feel!" she wrote.

"This organisation means the absolute world to me and to be able to call it home now means more than I'll ever be able to say," she added.

"What a legacy to be a part of. I am SO. EXCITED."

Kelly also celebrated her admission, poking fun at the 'blonde' makeover she received in season one.

"I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to process the fact that my lifelong dream has come true," she shared on Instagram.

"From setback to comeback, from blonde Kelly to brunette Kelly, I wouldn't change my journey for the world!!!!!

Adding, "Chasing dreams is the furthest thing from easy, but if I've learned one thing through this process, it's to never give up on them. This journey taught me the power of resilience and the importance of hard work and dedication."

A renewal seemed probable given its popularity, ranking in Netflix's top TV shows for weeks after its release.

Whiteley expressed interest in continuing the show. He told Variety, "I felt like we were just starting to get there as we were wrapping up, and I'd love to have more time to see if we can get deeper and deeper with more and more of the team."
