Lifetime tumbles into action this fall and delivers six dynamic new movies centered around the villainous side of cheerleading in the Fear the Cheer movie stunt, premiering every Saturday and Sunday beginning October 3rd through October 18th at 8PM EST/PST.

Flips and somersaults are in order for the premieres of Dying to Be a Cheerleader, Cheer Squad Secrets, Cheer Camp Killer, Cheerleader Abduction, The Wrong Cheerleader Coach featuring Vivica A. Fox and Tara Reid, and concluding with Who is Killing the Cheerleaders? Last year, Lifetime’s fall 2019 Cheer! Rally! Kill! movie stunt reached 9.8m total viewers in their premiere telecasts, and Lifetime is eager to bring the cheers and screams again in 2020.
