Cheer, a new series produced by Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos' Milojo Productions, will debut in September on CMT. The one-hour, six-episode series documents hard-driving coach Patty Ann Romero and her elite competitive cheerleading team as they journey toward the world cheerleading championships. The series is in production now and will debut along with a seventh season of CMT's hit series, Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team. Romero's senior team consists of 20 highly-conditioned athletes capable of jaw-dropping stunts and perfectly-choreographed dance moves. When they're not practicing in their gym, these ordinary teenage girls must balance a grueling schedule of conditioning and competitions along with school and the pressures of everyday life. "Having been a cheerleader, I know all too well what these girls give up to join forces and compete," Ripa said in a press release announcing the series. "After meeting Patty Ann, we knew her program was the perfect place to show everyone what it's all about."
