When was Netflix’s ‘Cheer’ season 2 filmed?

The timeline of Cheer season two can be slightly confusing to understand at first.

The premise of the show is based around the preparation for the grand final of the National Collegiate Cheer and Dance Championship in Daytona, Florida.

The first episode of the new season starts with being filmed in April 2021, but then flashes back to the previous events.

Variety reported that Cheer season two began filming while the first season was becoming popular on Netflix in January 2020.

The hit Netflix show made the Navarro team a national sensation, and are now appearing in media and press events.

By episode three and four the show starts to catch up with the current day, and viewers will see Covid hit Texas.

The 2020 Daytona championship gets canceled. 

Children then choose to either stay on campus while others return to their family home.

Production for Cheer season two came to a halt due to the pandemic, but restarted in September 2020.

When was Jerry Harris arrested?

Jerry Harris was arrested in Chicago in September 2020 after he was “allegedly enticing an underage boy to produce sexually explicit videos and photos of himself”.

He was charged with the “production of child porngraphy”.

A representative for Jerry shared a statement saying: “We categorically dispute the claims made against Jerry Harris, which are alleged to have occurred when he was a teenager.

“We are confident that when the investigation is completed the true facts will be revealed.”

Jerry has pleaded not guilty and is being held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago awaiting trial that currently has no set date.

In final episode of the new season, the Cheer filmmakers noted that they attempted to gain an interview from Harris’ legal team but they declined to be on camera.

The following text then appears on screen: “Jerry has been held at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Chicago since his arrest in September 2020. He still awaits trial. If convicted, he faces a mandatory minimum fifteen-year sentence.”

However, the series’ straightforward narrative shifts as the NCA National Championships are canceled and the team must figure out its next move.

It also documents Harris’ allegations which complicates the cheerleaders’ relationships as well as the team’s lineup and structure.
