So, if you finished the show and there's a La'Darius sized hole in your life, check out these 11 shows and movies that will satisfy your pom pom craving.

If you're craving another cheerleading docuseries and nothing else will do, then Cheer Squad is exactly what you need to watch (you don't even need to switch platforms). The show is very similar to Cheer in that it follows an elite team as it preps for their biggest competition of the year.

Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders: Making the Team (Amazon Prime)

Yeah, the Navarro Cheerleaders may shade the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders (they're just dancers), but they're still impressive af. Making the Team follows the grueling journey as girls try to get a place on the field. And don't worry about bingeing too quickly because there are 14 (!) seasons available to enjoy.

Hellcats (CW Seed)

If you want a more fictionalized version of cheer drama, look no further than Hellcats, a CW show about a college cheerleading squad. Its basically Riverdale meets cheerleading.

Bring It On (Amazon Prime)

If you haven't seen Bring It On, please stop what you're doing IMMEDIATELY and watch Kirsten Dunst and Gabriel Union absolutely kick butt in what is one of the most iconic teen movies ever made. So iconic, in fact, that Ariana Grande recreated parts of it for her "thank u, next" music video.

Bring It On: All or Nothing (Amazon Prime)

There are enough Bring It On sequels to last you a lifetime, and some are definitely better than others. This one has it's moments, but the fact that it stars Solange Knowles AND has a cameo from Rihanna makes it a win in my book.

Bring It On: Fight to the Finish (Amazon Prime)

Teen Wolf's Holland Roden stars in this Bring It On sequel that brings a new meaning to the term "Dream Team."

Bring It On: In It To Win It (Amazon Prime)

It's East Coast vs. West Coast, at least until both teams injure enough members that they must come together in order to win the Cheer Camp Championship! And yes, that is a young Ashley Benson.

8

Bring It On Again (Amazon Prime)

The first sequel, Bring It On Again brings the excitement to college where Whittier and Monica must form their own cheer squad in order to take down Cal State's snobbish captain, Tina.

Bring It On: Worldwide #Cheersmack (Netflix)

The latest Bring It On sequel focuses on the world of "cheer-lebrities" (think Gabi Butler). In Worldwide #Cheersmack, Destiny must lead her squad to global success while competing against the rest of the world.

Gotta Kick It Up (Amazon Prime)

Yup, there's a DCOM for that. Gotta Kick It Up stars America Ferrera as Yolanda a high schooler who helps to start a dance team at her school.

11

Going for Gold (Netflix)

It's the classic cheerleading movie trope: Girl moves to new school, girl uses cheerleading to make new friends, girl takes down mean girls in both the cheer competition, and in life. The twist in Going for Gold, though? They all have Australian accents!
