About ‘Stumble’

“Stumble” is a single-camera, mockumentary comedy series that follows coach Courteney Potter, who was once the most prestigious college cheer coach in the country — that is, until a viral video destroyed her reputation and left her essentially unemployable.

In order to make it back to the top, Potter winds up at a provincial junior college, where her cheer team is comprised of a narcoleptic tumbler, a felon with an ankle monitor, and students who learned all of their dancing skills from TikTok. She’s got her work cut out for her, but Potter is determined to whip this group into shape at any cost.
