Created by Jonathan Butler, Gabriel Garza
On Nickelodeon
A bright, energetic middle-school sitcom about friendship, belonging, and pursuing dreams, built on the warmth of its ensemble and the reassurance of weekly resolution.
A head cheerleader's life takes an unexpected twist when her rifle-like throwing arm takes her from the sidelines to becoming her middle school’s starting quarterback. Bella Dawson is a confident, caring and talented teenager, who suddenly finds herself fulfilling a lifelong dream but also having to navigate the world of her teammates Troy, Sawyer and Newt, without losing her two best friends, Pepper and Sophie from the cheer squad.
