Netflix\u2019s Cheer<\/a> has returned to the streaming site for a second season, with lots of our fave cheerleaders at Navarro College back to compete at the next National Championship, as well as some newbies.<\/p>\n

Viewers will have also spotted some cheerleaders from another college \u2013 The Cardinals, who represent Trinity Valley Community College, and are working equally as hard to win big at the championships.<\/p>\n

To help you keep up with all the team members and put a face to a name, RadioTimes.com<\/a> has put together a list of the Cheer season 2 cast, including the TVCC team, as well as original and returning stars \u2013 such as coach Monica Aldama and top cheerleader Gabi Butler \u2013\u00a0 and former members, who have now left the squad and gone on to do other things.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the Cheer cast new and old.<\/p>\n

Meet the new Cheerleaders of Navarro college<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Originally from Massachusetts, Maddy Brum joined the Navarro cheer team in 2019 and was ready to begin competing in Daytona the following year. Due to COVID, however, her chance to perform last year was lost. In season 2, viewers will see Maddy working hard to prove herself as a cheerleader, earning her praise from coach Monica.<\/p>\n

Gillian Rupert<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Gillian joined the Navarro team around the same time as Maddy, also competing at the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 championships at Daytona. In season 2, viewers see her coming out of her shell more. Away from Navarro College, Gilly cheers for CA Wildcats, where she helped them take home the win in 2019.<\/p>\n

Full of sass and very on trend, Payton brings the heat at Navarro College, and looks set to become one of the team\u2019s most popular cheerleaders amongst fans. When he\u2019s not at Navarro, he\u2019s cheering for Cheer Athletics and Woodlands Elite Cheer Company, with whom he\u2019s won bronze and silver at the world championships.<\/p>\n

Cassadee is another \u201crookie\u201d at Navarro, who has a past in pageants, appearing in Toddlers and Tiaras and Cheer Perfection when she was younger. Some fans might be unhappy to hear, however, that Cassadee won\u2019t be sticking around for too long. At the end of season 2, it\u2019s revealed that she has decided to go to university at the University of Central Arkansas.<\/p>\n

La\u2019Darius returned to Navarro for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons and features on season 2.<\/p>\n

Last year, he revealed he has aspirations to act, telling Dallas Morning News: \u201cI want to act so bad, and I feel like it\u2019s time for me to do that. I\u2019m going to be a film star. It\u2019s just in my blood.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also helps coach and train cheerleaders at Cheer Athletics Pensacola in Florida.<\/p>\n

But returned for the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 seasons at Navarro before becoming a student and cheerleader at Weber State University in Utah. She appears in season two of the docuseries.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of COVID, they gave everyone one more year of eligibility and I watched Weber and they were just an amazing team and this year they came out with insane skills,\u201d Gabi revealed last year. \u201cSo I really was intrigued and I wanted to learn more.\u201d<\/p>\n

She now uses her social media platform to work as an influencer.<\/p>\n

Lexi Brumback<\/span><\/figcaption> Instagram\/@lexisbrumback<\/i><\/span><\/div>\n

Instagram: <\/strong>@<\/a>lexisbrumback<\/a><\/p>\n

Lexi was one of the most compelling figures on Netflix\u2019s Cheer, having come from a troubled past which included run-ins with the law.<\/p>\n

Despite this, she had risen through the ranks of Navarro\u2019s cheerleading team to become an extremely talented gymnast, but was forced to leave when she took responsibility for illegal substances found in a car she was travelling in.<\/p>\n

She moved back in with her grandmother in Houston.<\/p>\n

Fans will be happy to hear, however, that Lexi was given another chance, with coach Monica Aldama saying in a previous interview: \u201cHer coach reached out to me and her mom and her grandmother, everyone wanted her back at Navarro, of course. I even said at the end of the series that I felt like that I still needed some time with her because she was doing so well. She did get into a bit of a trouble and that was all dropped.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aldama added to US Weekly: \u201cShe did have to sit out in the fall semester and I felt like she had enough time to reflect on it and learn from it. She\u2019s doing great and she\u2019s really happy to be back here, and I can\u2019t wait to see where she goes from here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lexi returned for the 2020-2021 season, and features in the current season 2.\u00a0 The social media star has a YouTube channel and make-up Instagram account.<\/p>\n

Jerry became a firm favourite among the lineup of Netflix\u2019s Cheer, with many viewers utterly charmed by his larger than life personality. Much to their delight, he made it to the Daytona finals as seen on the show.<\/p>\n

The new episodes will look at how Cheer season 2 will explore serious criminal allegations against him<\/a>, which he denies.<\/p>

Morgan Simianer<\/span><\/h2>\n

Morgan was another member of Navarro College\u2019s squad to have a troubled past, relating to her early years growing up in a trailer with only her brother.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, things took a turn for the better when her grandparents took custody of them both and she went on to become a vital member of the team.<\/p>\n

Morgan returned to Navarro for the 2019-2020 season, however, she quit cheer after the competitions were canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic that spring. Fans will see her in season two. The social media influencer also has a boyfriend named Stone Burleson.<\/p>\n

Sherbs was another Navarro College cheerleader for whom the road to Daytona didn\u2019t go exactly to plan. She was forced to drop out after sustaining a bad injury during practice.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, she has been able to make a full recovery and is now cheerleading again, this time for Texas Tech University. She graduated from the uni in August 2021, and now uses her Instagram to share fitness tips.<\/p>\n

Austin was a member of the Navarro College squad featured in Cheer, who injured his ankle at Daytona.\u00a0<\/strong>He later joined the Texas Tech cheerleading squad, where he once again trained with his fellow Cheer star Mackenzie Sherburn or \u2018Sherbs\u2019.<\/p>\n

Monica is Navarro College\u2019s tough but fair Cheer coach who has become a standout among the show\u2019s many lively personalities. With a number of championship titles to her name and an obvious passion for the sport, it should be no surprise that Monica is still coaching Navarro\u2019s cheerleading squad and appears frequently in the new series.<\/p>\n

In 2020, she competed on\u00a0season 29 of Dancing With the Stars with Val Chmerkovskiy\u00a0in 2020. Her memoir,\u00a0Full Out! Leadership Lessons from America\u2019s Favorite Coach, was released in January 2022.<\/p>\n

Classed as one of the strongest leaders on the team by Daytona 2021, cheerleading is everything to Jada. The team member \u2013 who previously cheered for Cheer Athletics and is a 2015 World Champion \u2013 competes as both a flyer and tumbler.<\/p>\n
