The series is written by Gabriel Garza and Jonathan Butler ("The Haunted Hathaways", "Fanboy & Chum Chum"), who were discovered through Nickelodeon's Writing Program. Jeff Bushell will serve as Executive Producer. Nickelodeon has picked up the series for 12 episodes.

Nickelodeon Unveils First Look at "Bella and the Bulldogs," New Live-Action Series Coming January 2015

Tonight, Nickelodeon will give viewers a first look at its new live-action series Bella and the Bulldogs which follows a head cheerleader whose life takes an unexpected twist when she becomes the starting quarterback of her middle school football team in Texas. The series is scheduled to premiere in January 2015. Led by newcomer Brec Bassinger, a Saginaw, Texas native and big football fan herself, as Bella, the show also features an off-beat ensemble of characters who surround Bella with their own brand of quirks and humor. The show is filled with great comedy about balancing two worlds, being in middle school, navigating friendships and, of course, sports.

Bella and the Bulldogs is definitely a show to have on your radar. We hope you will post the below promo and we'll continue to update you on the show as it gets ready for launch.
