Meet Jerry Harris, ‘Cheer’ Netflix’s Most Hard-Working Character

As Cheer reveals, Navarro Cheer attracts dozens of difficult kids, offering a safe space for those who had troubles with the legal system or are still working their way through childhood traumas. 

Jerry is no different in this respect. As a crucial scene of the series shows, the adolescent lost his only parent, his mother at an early age, after which he was sent to live with a well-meaning, albeit somewhat remiss, family in the Corsicana suburbs.
