Overview
- Netflix released seven episodes of America's Sweethearts Season 3 on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, covering the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' 2025–26 season from auditions to game‑day performances.
- The season follows the squad as only six open roster spots are contested and senior director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell return to lead training and rehearsals.
- Viewers see continued turnover as several veterans announced departures during or after the cycle and the finale shows a fan‑favorite veteran telling leaders she will not return next season.
- The series revisits the squad’s push for higher pay, which has been reported as a roughly 300–400% increase in different accounts, while the role remains largely part‑time and lacks full benefits.
- Off‑screen developments highlighted by coverage include Kelli Finglass’s February 2026 disclosure of a squamous cell carcinoma diagnosis and the squad’s growing global profile through rookies such as New Zealand‑born Faith Ward, which together help explain why members are balancing social‑media careers, health concerns, and new career paths.
