USA TODAY's TV critic Kelly Lawler breaks down the best TV shows you don't to want to miss this summer
The search to find America's (newest) Sweethearts will kick off shortly.
"America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders," a docuseries about the legendary cheer team, returns for its second season on Netflix June 18.
The show follows a group of hopefuls as they compete for a spot on the Dallas Cowboys Cheer Team, the pinnacle of professional cheerleading.
"There are, of course, the physics-defying kicks and jump splits of 'Thunderstruck,' the squad's signature — and seriously difficult to master — routine set to the AC/DC song. And then, there are the tears and cheers as girls make or are cut from the final team," per Tudum.
The big difference between this season and the last is that the pool of dancers auditioning to accompany the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders (DCC) through the National Football League's 2024-25 season is that most of them are rookies. Only 23 of 36 veterans will be re-auditioning for a spot.
"From Emmy Award-winning director Greg Whiteley and the team behind 'Cheer' and 'Last Chance U,' the fan-favorite series will return to continue giving viewers unfiltered access into this iconic team and franchise," according to Netflix.
Here's what we know about Season 2 so far, including how to watch.

What's 'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' Season 2 about?
This season picks up ahead of the final round of auditions for the 2024-2025 squad and follows the 36 women who get selected through training camp, cuts, the official team announcement and into the NFL season, according to Tudum.
"This season dives deeper into the stories, sisterhood, and sacrifices of the women who wear the stars on and off the field," reads a description of the show. "Get ready for new faces, high stakes, and raw emotion as these athletes redefine what it means to shine under pressure."
Which 'Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' are returning for Season 2?
It seemingly takes a village to put together a cheer team, especially one as iconic as this one.
"This time around, DCC director Kelli Finglass and head choreographer Judy Trammell work to build yet another impressive team of talented athletes who can wow the world with their high kicks and jump splits as AC/DC's 'Thunderstruck' blasts throughout AT&T Stadium," according to Tudum.
Only 23 of 36 veterans are trying out for the team this season, which means DCC will have a larger pool of rookies who are vying for a spot to ultimately make the team.
Finglass and Trammel whittled down the nearly 500 new submissions they received to determine the group of hopefuls, made up of veterans and rookies, who will formally audition for a spot on the team.

Charlize Theron calls out Hollywood for not taking 'risk' on female hero action films
Actress Charlize Theron criticized the film industry for being reluctant to support female-led action films, in a new interview with The New York Times. Theron and fellow actress Uma Thurman spoke to the outlet about the challenges women face in the genre as they promote their new Netflix superhero sequel, "The Old Guard 2." Theron said that securing the lead roles in action films is more challenging for women because Hollywood viewed these films as more of a risk. "Yeah, it's harder," Theron said. "That's known. Action films with female leads don't get green-lit as much as the ones with male leads. I think the thing that always frustrates me is the fact that guys will get a free ride." The Oscar-winning actress suggested there was a double-standard in Hollywood, claiming male actors that star in films that flop at the box office are given a pass while women rarely receive the same leeway. "When women do this and the movie maybe doesn't hit fully, they don't necessarily get a chance again," she said. "With this, we were very aware that eyes were on us. It's not a risk that studios want to take, but they'll take it many times on the same guy who might have a string of action movies that did not do so well." Both she and Thurman have starred in successful female-led action films. Thurman famously played an assassin in "Kill Bill," while Theron has taken on iconic roles in films like "Mad Max: Fury Road" and the "Fast & Furious" franchise.

This 21-year-old NJ resident was crowned Leonardo DiCaprio doppelgänger
He's been crowned Dicaprio's doppelgänger. It was Leos galore in New Jersey on Saturday as lookalikes for a DiCaprio lookalike contest battled it out on stage for a $50 cash prize. Among the seven contestants from places like Philadelphia and Providence was Nick Fine, 21, who was eventually crowned the winner. The swarthy local confessed to The Post he was thrilled to be likened to the handsome Academy Award-winning heartthrob. Advertisement 'It's an absolute honor. I'm just very grateful I came to the pier this morning. I'm a big Leo fan, love his movies,' smiled Fine, who went on to name 'Shutter Island' as his favorite DiCaprio flick. The contest, which took place at Pier A Park in Hoboken and drew in a crowd of 40, was organized by a group of college friends. 3 Nick Fine of Hoboken won the Leonardo DiCaprio lookalike contest. Leonardo Munoz Advertisement Hoboken resident Colleen Flickinger, who works as a public relations specialist, concocted the idea to celebrate her pal Margaret Pfeifle's 25th birthday — a play on the fact that DiCaprio, 50, has a habit of dumping his girlfriends once they turn 25. 'Leonardo DiCaprio never dated anyone above 25, so for many, many years, that was the joke, so, when Margaret was turning 25, we just kind of were inspired by that, and we were like, 'How funny would it be if we had a look alike contest?'' Flickinger, also 25, explained. 'It was a complete joke. I printed out maybe 10 fliers, and then we posted it [on social media] and that's when it kind of took off.' 'Hopefully it's good for a laugh if nothing else,' Pfeifle, the birthday girl, added. Advertisement When only one contestant — who had seen it advertised on social media — showed up, the girls started recruiting potential contestants in the park. 3 Seven men competed for a $50 cash prize. Leonardo Munoz They ended up finding five Leo lookalikes. [The seventh contestant, who had also learned about it on social media, arrived later.] 'I'm kind of shocked how many people that look like Leonardo DiCaprio are walking around the park.' Flickinger said. Advertisement As fate would have it, Fine, who incidentally lives across from the park, happened to be strolling by with his friends. 'Actually a friend of mine was recruited, and then I got looped into it, and they said that they would cheer for me, so it all worked out, I guess. It is amazing,' he gushed. 'I was just eating breakfast like two seconds ago, I came out to the pier for a second.' Joining him in the competition were Michael Stewart, 47, a local retired iron worker, David Flanigan, 26, an underwriter from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, John Santos, 22, a jack-of-all trades from Providence, Rhode Island, and Eric Stylianidis, 22, a consultant who resides in the Big Apple. 3 Fine and David Flanigan, an underwriter from Philadelphia, shake hands. Leonardo Munoz Each contestant was asked to introduce themselves and were judged by the amount of applause they received. When it was Fine's turn, he simply stated, 'I'm Nick, I live across the street. Leo is an absolute man rocket.' Advertisement After the first round, it came down to two contestants, Fine and Flanigan. Then the crowd was asked to applaud again, and Fine was awarded the honor. Soon after he was named the victor, he revealed what he'd be doing with his $50 winnings. 'I'm gonna go get a few beers, probably within the next 30 minutes,' he said. Advertisement

Joe Burrow Does Not Hide His Unusual Obsession on Netflix's 'Quarterback 2'
Joe Burrow Does Not Hide His Unusual Obsession on Netflix's 'Quarterback 2' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. In the second season of Netflix's "Quarterback" docuseries, the cameras follow Atlanta's Kirk Cousins, who appeared in the show's first season, as well as Detroit's Jared Goff and Cincinnati's Joe Burrow. Advertisement Burrow, who grew up in Ohio, was featured in a clip shared to Netflix Sports' X account to promote the release of the new season, which covers the trio of signal-callers during the 2024 NFL season. In October, Burrow was at a practice chatting with a Bengals' staff member and teammates about a recent museum visit. "Somehow, there's this one fossil that proved Darwin's theory of evolution," he said. "It's called the Archaeopteryx. There's like 12 of them in the world. We got to see one of those, and we got to see the little old lady that freaking works on it. Grinding." Burrow visited the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois, one of the largest museums. One permanent exhibition there is Sue, the Tyrannosaurus Rex, who measures 40.5 feet long and 13 feet tall at the hips. The fossil is estimated to be 67 million years old. Advertisement "We went to the natural history museum," Burrow continued. "They took us behind the scenes and showed us some really cool stuff. It's like a library of fossils that they don't show everybody else ... It was pretty sick. Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images "Why were fossils on my mind?" Burrow wondered aloud. I don't know, cause they're cool. When aren't fossils on your mind? They go back millions of years. That's sick." The docuseries "Quarterback 2" is now available to stream on Netflix.
