NBC's Stumble stars Jenn Lyon (Claws) as Courteney Potter, who has so far fallen one championship short of being the winningest coach in college cheer history. But after becoming a cheer legend while leading the squad at the junior college she worked at, it all comes crashing down when a video of her partying with her team goes viral and she's fired. Disgraced in the cheer circuit, Courteney has to take the only job she can get, coaching cheer at a tiny junior college called Headltston. She puts together a team from an unconventional pool of talent and is tasked with transforming a ragtag group of disparate students into champions in order to get back into the winner's circle.
Stemming from Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, and Defining Eve Productions, NBC's Stumble is executive-produced by writers/showrunners Jeff Astrof and Liz Astrof, director Jeff Blitz, and Dana Honor and Monica Aldama.
