Originally titled Bring It On: Halloween when it was announced earlier this year, SYFY has announced today that their horror spin on the franchise is now titled Bring It On: Cheer or Die.
This will be the franchise’s seventh installment, and its first non-comedy movie!
Bring It On: Cheer or Die is produced by Universal 1440 Entertainment, and we’ve also learned today that production on the film has wrapped. Which means more info has been provided.
Missi Pyle (“Y: The Last Man,” “Dirty John”), Kerri Medders (“Panic,” “SEAL Team”) and Tiera Skovbye (Midnight Sun, “Riverdale”) will star in the highly anticipated SYFY original movie and all-new spine-tingling installment of the beloved cheerleading film franchise. The brand-new film is directed by Karen Lam (SYFY’s “Ghost Wars” & “Van Helsing”), who brings a plethora of genre filmmaking experience and a fresh new perspective to the Bring it On family. From Universal 1440 Entertainment and Beacon Pictures, Bring It On: Cheer or Die follows a cheer squad as they practice their routines overnight in an abandoned school during Halloween weekend where one-by-one, the teens fall victim to a deranged assailant.
Currently wrapping production in Winnipeg, Canada, the film will debut on non-theatrical platforms worldwide and will appear on SYFY in Fall 2022. “We are excited to team up with SYFY to continue this ever-popular franchise with an all-new installment from renowned filmmaker Karen Lam, the very first female director of the movie series,” said Glenn Ross, general manager and executive vice president, Universal 1440 Entertainment. “Featuring a fresh take on the franchise’s historically comedic films, this next chapter showcases a multi-talented diverse cast and will entertain long-time Bring It On movie fans as well as open the doors to the legion of fans who enjoy thrillers.” The film is written by Rebekah McKendry (All the Creatures Were Stirring) and Dana Schwartz (“She-Hulk”) from a story by Alyson Fouse (Bring It On: Fight to the Finish), executive produced by Beacon Pictures partners Armyan Bernstein and Charlie Lyons, produced by Griff Furst (You Might be the Killer), and co-produced by Tony Gonzalez (Bring It On franchise) and C. Eve Stewart (Tales from the Hood 3). Tony Gonzalez also returns as the choreographer to create the franchise’s iconic stunts.
