NBC Cancels ‘Stumble’ After 1 Season
On May 1, NBC canceled freshman comedy Stumble after a single season.
The comedic mockumentary about the high stakes of junior college cheerleading was canceled along with Brilliant Minds, as per Variety. According to the publication, waning viewership was a factor. The March finale will be the series’ final episode.
The show premiered on Friday, November 7, 2025, and released six episodes before pausing for the winter break. The show stars Jenn Lyon as Courteney Potter, alongside multiple award-winning actress Kristin Chenoweth, who plays Potter’s former assistant coach, Tammy Istiny, as a recurring guest star.
Stumble was connected to the Netflix docuseries Cheer through Monica Aldama, the Navarro College coach who served as an executive producer and consultant for the sitcom.
Is Stumble renewed for Season 2?
No. As of May 1, the show was officially canceled by NBC.
Ratings-wise, though, Stumble‘s first season has been lackluster. It has so far averaged 1.777 million viewers per episode, with a .16 rating in the key demographic of 18-49 year olds. (By contrast, St. Denis Medical has notched 2.445 million viewers with a .31 rating.)
How many Stumble episodes are there?
There are 13 episodes in the first season of Stumble. All 13 episodes of the series are currently available to stream on Peacock.
Who is in the Stumble cast?
The series stars Lyon as Coach Courteney Potter, a college cheer coach from Texas who lost everything after being fired for drinking with her cheer squad. Potter then settles for a new job at Headlston State Junior College. As Potter settles into her role, Chenoweth guest stars as Coach Tammy, Potter’s former deputy, who takes Potter’s place as her former cheer squad’s coach. Taran Killam plays Potter’s love interest, Coach Boon. The cast also includes Ryan Pinkston, Jarrett Austin Brown, Anissa Borrego, Arianna Davis, Taylor Dunbar, and Georgie Murphy.

This Show has so much talent and potential on-screen and off and I know there is so much more to explore in Häedlston and it would be a horrible shame to not renew it for another season.

I’ve never commented before (on any forum actually) but this show is so good and so perfectly balanced I will be promoting and praising it wherever I can. The coaches’ marriage is beautifully inspired by Tami and Eric Taylor with perfect comedic timing and heart. All the characters are great and then Jeff Hiller? I laughed till I cried. Please renew it!!

My daughter and I love this show. Please, please, please renew it for a second season. I don't think it got the promoting that it deserved. I recommended it to a lot of friends and they started watching and love it as well.

I love this show but not sure why you're comparing it to St. Denis as a "freshman show", when St. Denis is already in its second year and got renewed for a third

This breaks my heart my daughter is in her senior of high school and would race home from her friends just to watch Stumble with me every week. We were both praying for a 2nd season.

Cancelling Stumble is another NBC epic fail and another reason to stop watching network TV altogether. All of them NBC,CBS,ABC & FOX haven't given me any reason to tune in to any of them. So,thanks for making my decision easier.TTMF!

It's great, original and laugh out loud funny IMO it's a much better show than Happy's Place, nothing against Reba & staff but Stumble is a much funnier show that didn't need a laugh track. Agree with AntonG "it would be a horrible shame to not renew it for another season". & 24601 -"A TRAVESTY, SUCH A GREAT SHOW"

I just found out that Stumble did not make a second season all the while I have been waiting for season 2 I am so disappointed! I started watching the first season over again just to be prepared for the second season. Stumble is by far one of the best new comedy sitcoms out there! It is an absolute travesty not to continue on with this amazing show! I recorded every episode just to have them and now to find out this horrible news you all better get on it and make the second season happened because as of now there is nothing on TV anybody cares to watch Stumble is one of the ones so many people were watching that I knew of. And according to all the comments on this page people are really pulling to get this back on and get the second season done because you left the first season off at a part where you can get a great second season going! I mean who decided this anyway? The only sitcoms that are good and funny are Stumble, Mandy Georgie's and Mandy's first marriage, St Denis Medical and Ghosts. That is it now you've canceled one of the best ones of all of those is absolute ludicrous to me!

This is such a witty and creatively entertaining show! The problem was that there was no publicity for it. I “stumbled” upon it accidentally and couldn’t believe how awesome it
Was. I then recommended it to
Other friends and their daughters and everyone loved it! They just never knew about it until I told them to watch it! We all became hooked! Shame! It should be renewed 100 times over some shows that continue to be renewed! The storyline and actors are pure genius! So sad it’s not renewing!!!!

I CANNOT believe this show was cancelled!! It’s 100 times funnier than anything Chuck Lorre has on the air and the cast is superb! What a shame! BTW: Peacock/NBC did a lousy job promoting it.
