Watch the Hellcats premiere episode 1 on September 8 in this video clip.

Hellcats’ season 1, episode 1 premiere airs at 9 p.m. on the CW, but you can watch the sneak peek video here, giving the rundown on Marti Perkins (Aly Michalka), a pre-law student who lost her scholarship and has to put her gymnastic talents to work to get a cheerleading scholarship.

Ashley Tisdale co-stars in Hellcats.

The energy of Hellcats, cool choreography, and “Bring It On”-ish feel should make Hellcats a hit. Oh, and the cheerleading uniforms that show off the girls’ sculpted abs don’t hurt either!
