The “Bring It On” franchise is a seven-film series centered on high school cheerleading and comedy. The third installment, “Bring It On: All or Nothing”, follows cheerleader Britney Allen who transfers from an affluent school to their rival, where she clashes with the cheer captain and competes against her former team for the chance to appear in a Rihanna music video.
As next month marks the 20th anniversary of “Bring It On: All or Nothing,” let’s delve into what the main cast has been doing for the last 20 years.
Hayden Panettiere
In her role as the protagonist Britney Allen, Hayden Panettiere must adapt to a new social environment and realize that her cheerleader popularity doesn’t mean what it used to. She was 16-years-old when the movie was released in 2006, and she is turning 37 this year.
Panettiere began her acting career by appearing in a commercial at 11 months old, and she made her film debut at 9-years-old when she voiced Dot in “A Bug’s Life.” Her most well-known film role was Sheryl Yoast in “Remember the Titans.” She found even more success as Claire Bennet in the television show “Heroes”, and later for her portrayal of Juliette Barnes in “Nashville.”
Panettiere got engaged to Wladimir Klitschko in 2013, and gave birth to their daughter Kaya in 2014. She struggled with postpartum depression and alcoholism, which led her to call off the engagement and relinquish custody of Kaya in 2018, who now lives with her father in Ukraine.
She reprised her role as Kirby Reed in the 2022 “Scream” sequel. In 2024, she voiced Samantha “Sam” Giddings in the video game remake “Until Dawn” and worked on the movie “Amber Alert.”

According to BuzzFeed, the book details her traumatic experiences in the Hollywood industry, including addiction, sexual harassment, body shaming, bullying, exploitation as a child actress, and relationship troubles.
Panettiere’s estranged mother, Lesley Vogel, has made comments against the memoir and called her daughter “entitled,” according to an article by Page Six. Panettiere’s younger brother passed away in 2023, which placed additional strain on the family.
On Panettiere’s Instagram page, she announced that the memoir made The New York Times best-sellers list. She also recently came out as bisexual.
