Bring It On: Fight to the Finish, the fifth installment from the popular global hit movie franchise, starring Grammy®-nominated recording star and actress Christina Milian, will make its television premiere on ABC Family on Sunday, January 17 (8:00PM-10:00PM ET/PT).

In the all-new movie Bring It On: Fight to the Finish, East Los Angeles high school cheer squad captain Lina Cruz (Christina Milian) and her best friends, Gloria (Vanessa Born) and Treyvonetta (Gabrielle Dennis), have high hopes of winning the Spirit Championships with the team’s fiery fusion of Latin and hip-hop moves. Instead, Lina’s world is turned upside down when her mother remarries and her family relocates to Malibu, where she is forced to adjust to a new home, a new stepsister (Holland Roden) and a new school with a less-than-stellar cheer squad.

Always ready for a challenge, Lina takes on the daunting task of transforming the Malibu Vista High Sea Lions cheer squad into a championship team, but she will have to get past the award-winning Jaguar cheer squad and their captain, Avery (Rachele Brooke Smith). Lina’s budding romance with Avery’s brother Evan (Cody Longo) only intensifies the rivalry. With the stakes higher than ever, Lina devises a bold plan that could blow the Jaguars right off of the competition floor and lead the Sea Lions to victory!
