NBC Locks in Premiere Date for ‘Stumble’ Comedy Series WATCH Trailer

NBC is ready to cheer… or maybe trip, with its newest comedy series Stumble, officially set to premiere on Friday, November 7, 2025, at 8:30 PM. In a fall lineup filled with reboots and tired procedurals, Stumble is swinging in with pom-poms, problems, and a cast of chaotic misfits you won’t want to miss. The network is clearly banking on comedy with a bite, and Stumble just might stick the landing.

Created by veteran comedy duo Jeff Astrof and Liz Astrof, Stumble follows Courteney Potter, played by the razor-sharp Jenn Lyon, a once-legendary junior college cheer coach whose career is derailed by a viral scandal. Now, she’s stuck coaching at a floundering no-name college, desperately trying to rebuild her reputation and win a record-breaking fifteenth title with a squad that barely knows how to spell "go team."

Think Glee meets The Office with a twist of Cheer... if that twist were dipped in energy drinks and self-delusion. The mockumentary-style single-camera comedy comes packed with an ensemble of overachieving underdogs and total disasters. Add in a recurring role from Kristin Chenoweth as a clueless assistant coach and things spiral from cheer practice into pure chaos.

NBC is doubling down on fresh, female-driven storytelling with Stumble, and the Friday night time slot signals confidence that this quirky cheerleading comedy can punch above its weight. With early buzz building and a creative team that knows how to mix heart with hilarious dysfunction, Stumble might be the sleeper hit of the season.

So mark your calendars, fluff your hair, and get ready to root for a team that’s more likely to trip over their own feet than take home gold. Stumble premieres November 7 on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock. Catch it before your friends pretend they discovered it first.
