Dawson Creek’s James Van Der Beek and Riverdale’s Drew Ray Tanner are the adults in the Tubi feature Sidelined: The QB and Me filming in Victoria — about the romance between a dancer and a high school quarterback.
When the dreamy high school star quarterback crashes (literally) into her life, a precocious high school cheerleader’s dream of escaping her small town and earning a coveted dance scholarship to CalArts is thrown into question.
Sidelined is adapted from Tay Marley’s popular YA novel The QB Bad Boy and Me, with 31 million reads on Wattpad.
Sidelined tells the story of Dallas (Siena Agudong), a burdened but headstrong dancer, who is determined to get into the best dance school in the country — her late mother’s alma mater. However, that dream is suddenly derailed when the cheeky yet secretly grieving football star, Drayton (Noah Beck), crashes into her life with a unique story of his own. Will the two of them be able to grow into their dreams together or will their dreams be sidelined?
