As their high school relationship begins to unravel under the pressures of distance and self-discovery, they’ll learn that the bravest versions of themselves emerge when they let life redirect them.
“At Tubi, we listen to our viewers, and their overwhelming response to SIDELINED: THE QB AND ME made putting a sequel into play an easy decision to give our audiences more of what they love,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer, Tubi. “We’re so thrilled to have our stars back – Noah and Siena – who really captivated audiences with their engaging performances and will no doubt bring their on-screen chemistry back with the sequel.”
“From the very beginning, Sidelined: The QB & Me was something special—featuring an outstanding cast, an incredible team, and a story that truly resonated with audiences. With Noah, Siena, Wattpad, Justin, and our entire creative team returning, this sequel is a testament to the impact of the original film.” said Lindsay Macadam and McKenna Marshall, Producers. “Noah’s influence continues to grow, making this more than just a continuation—it’s a celebration of the power of fan-driven storytelling. We’re excited to continue this journey and our incredible partnership with Tubi and Wattpad.”
