NewTransferStudent Autumn (Kayla Wallace) starts at her new high school, with school newspaper editor Kara (Maddie Phillips, Sterling on ''[[Series/TeenageBountyHunters2020 Teenage Bounty Hunters]]'') chosen as her "campus liaison". Head cheerleader Jenny (Samantha Schimmer) sees Autumn as a threat and, learning that she has a dance background, invites her to join the cheer squad as a "keep your enemies closer" tactic. Kara had also invited Autumn to join the school paper (having written for the paper at her previous school), but with the cheer invitation, Kara hatches a scheme: Autumn joins the squad, but as an undercover reporter, investigating allegations of hazing and abuse from Dot (Sarah-Jane Redmond), the cheer coach. Autumn's anonymous articles cause a stir at school and infuriate Dot, who wants to find the mole and punish them. When one cheerleader gets attacked and another is killed, and Autumn finds herself mysteriously stalked, it seems Dot will stop at nothing to uncover the Undercover Cheerleader, but this is a Lifetime thriller, so there may be a crazy plot twist or two awaiting everyone.

''Undercover Cheerleader'' is a 2019 Canadian-produced LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek TeenDrama {{Thriller}}, written by Lauren Balson Carter and directed by Danny J. Boyle ([[Creator/DannyBoyle not him]]). It was part of the network's ''Cheer! Rally! Kill!'' event, with five original cheerleader-themed thrillers.

!!''Undercover Cheerleader'' contains examples of:
* AlphaBitch: Jenny is this for the cheer squad, and Bella is her faithful BetaBitch.
* BeautyIsBad: Blonde glamor queen Jenny is Coach Dot's {{Dragon}}.
* DeadpanSnarker: Max, Kara's assistant on the school paper, has a dry sense of humor.
* FormerlyFat: Apparently Kara, who doesn't want anyone to know.
* HalfwayPlotSwitch: The first part of the movie is fairly light, playing like a cross between ''Series/DegrassiHigh'', ''Film/MeanGirls'' and ''Film/BringItOn'', with Autumn infiltrating the cheer squad and facing an ethical conflict when she grows close to several of the cheerleaders. The second half becomes a DarkerAndEdgier {{Thriller}}.
* IfICantHaveYou: The main reason [[spoiler:Kara attacks Heidi--she intruded on her friendship with Autumn]].
* TheIngenue: Autumn is quiet and shy compared to the other girls.
* ObliviousToLove: Max clearly loves Kara, who treats him as an annoyance.
* PlotTwist: Heidi was killed by [[spoiler:Kara, who underwent a FaceHeelTurn and became a {{Yandere}} for Autumn]].
* PoliceAreUseless: After a few dead ends, the police manage to crack the case, unfortunately [[spoiler:Autumn is already trapped by Kara when she finds out]].
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Coach Dot singles out Megan, the squad's only black member, for abuse, making her place on the team conditional based on losing weight, then making her do a tumble she'd never practiced before, resulting in serious injury.
* RedHerring:
** Samantha getting attacked turns out to be [[spoiler:unconnected to Heidi getting killed, except for it being Kara's inspiration to go after Heidi]].

** While evil, Coach Dot [[spoiler:doesn't turn out to be the ultimate villain]].

* WildTeenParty: The turning point of the film, as Autumn hosts a rave at her house (without her mother's knowledge or permission while she's out of town), that ends up with fellow cheerleader Heidi dying when she's knocked over by a car while she walks home.
