Sidelined 2: Intercepted – Tubi’s Football Romance Sequel Scores Big

Sidelined 2: Intercepted is set to premiere on Tubi on November 27, 2025, and it’s already generating major buzz among fans of teen romance and sports dramas. The sequel picks up where Sidelined: The QB & Me left off, following the emotional journey of freshman quarterback Drayton (Noah Beck) and aspiring dancer Dallas (Siena Agudong) as they navigate the pressures of college life, long-distance love, and personal growth.

📖 Inspired by Tay Marley’s wildly popular Wattpad novel The QB Bad Boy and Me—which has amassed over 31 million reads—the Sidelined franchise has become a breakout hit on BookTok and beyond. The first film topped Tubi’s charts in both the U.S. and Canada, and the sequel aims to build on that momentum with deeper character arcs and more mature themes.

🎬 Directed by Justin Wu, Sidelined 2: Intercepted expands its universe with new faces including Charlie Gillespie (Julie and the Phantoms), Sage Linder (Descendants 3), and Roan Curtis (Firefly Lane). Fan favorites James Van Der Beek and Drew Ray Tanner return to reprise their roles, adding continuity and emotional weight to the evolving story.

💔 The sequel explores the aftermath of Drayton’s career-threatening injury and Dallas’s growing uncertainty about her future. As their once picture-perfect relationship begins to unravel, the film delves into themes of identity, ambition, and the courage it takes to let go—or fight for love.

📺 With its blend of heartfelt drama, swoon-worthy romance, and relatable coming-of-age struggles, Sidelined 2: Intercepted is poised to become another streaming sensation. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the Wattpad original or just discovering the franchise, this sequel promises to deliver all the feels.
