NBC has ordered a new cheerleading comedy series called “Stumble” to its primetime lineup, with Jenn Lyon and Taran Killam set to star in the upcoming show.
The network announced the series pickup after reviewing the pilot episode. The comedy will follow a group of adult cheerleaders navigating personal and professional challenges.
Lyon, known for her work on “Claws,” will play one of the lead roles in the series.
Killam, a former “Saturday Night Live” cast member, joins Lyon as the show’s other principal star. He’s also expected to serve as an executive producer on the project.
The show explores the world of competitive cheerleading from an adult perspective. It focuses on characters who are trying to balance their cheerleading ambitions with everyday life responsibilities.
NBC hasn’t announced a premiere date for “Stumble” yet. The network typically releases its fall schedule announcements in May.
The series represents NBC’s continued investment in comedy programming. The network has been working to rebuild its comedy slate after several long-running shows ended in recent years.
Production details, including filming locations and additional casting, haven’t been revealed. The show’s writers and production team are still being finalized.
“Stumble” will likely air during NBC’s primetime comedy block, though the exact time slot remains unconfirmed.
