As the reunion and spinoffs of popular TV shows and movies occur, one of pop culture’s favorite cheerleader franchises gets the spooky treatment, and to that we say: Bring it on!
According to SYFY’s 2021/2022 content slate announcement this week, the Bring It On film franchise based on a cult classic from 2000 will receive a new original spin-off of the film. Bring it on: Halloween is set to premiere in 2022, on non-theatrical platforms.
According to SYFY, the film’s synopsis reads: “Held by restrictive rules, a beleaguered cheerleader team seeks the freedom of a spooky, closed gym to train for the regional ones, but when members of the the team begin to disappear, the cheerleaders must unmask their attacker to save themselves. “
Written by journalist and author Dana Schwartz (She-Hulk) and award-winning film and television director Rebekah McKendry (Tales of Halloween and All the Creatures Were Stirring), Bring It On: Halloween will be produced by Universal 1440 Entertainment as first no – a comedian film and the seventh overall installment in the franchise.
Bring It On pom poms were first waved in the air almost 21 years ago. Starring Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union, Teen Film Is About “A Champion High School Cheerleading Team [that] finds that her former captain stole all of their best routines from a downtown school and must scramble to compete in this year’s championships, ”according to IMDb.
