Tubi today announced a third and final installment in the hit YA Sidelined franchise as Sidelined 3 begins production. Stars Noah Beck (Baywatch) and Siena Agudong (Carrie) will reprise their roles as Drayton and Dallas, with Charlie Gillespie (Julie and the Phantoms) also returning as Skyler. Michael Medico (XO, Kitty, A Typical) is set to direct the film.
Returning cast for Sidelined 3 also includes Drew Ray Tanner (Riverdale), Kolton Stewart (Heated Rivalry), Sage Linder (Descendants 3), Asia Lizardo (Sidelined 2: Intercepted), and Jason Fernandes (Cruel Summer).
The synopsis for Sidelined 3 reads, “The third film will be set two years later, as USC quarterback Drayton Lahey (Beck) lands in New York City as a Heisman hopeful… but it may turn out he’s not just there for football. Somewhere in the city is his former high school sweetheart, Dallas Bryan (Agudong), who is building her new career, navigating her love life alongside Skyler (Gillespie), chasing her dreams, and not looking back. Now, in the city that never sleeps and with everything on the line, Drayton has one shot to prove he’s not just chasing a trophy… he’s chasing the one who got away.”
“The fans have spoken! We’re excited to officially greenlight Sidelined 3,” said Adam Lewinson, Chief Content Officer at Tubi. “The third installment of this beloved YA franchise is fueled by the enthusiastic response to Sidelined 2: Intercepted, which shows how Tubi Originals can break through and spark real fandom. Tubi is where stories find their audience, and we’re proud to keep delivering content that resonates with young, passionate viewers.”
Building on the success of the 2024 hit, Sidelined: The QB and Me, which is based on Wattpad sensation The QB Bad Boy and Me by Tay Marley, the sequel, Sindelined 2: Intercepted premiered on Thanksgiving day on November 27, 2025.
