SUMMARY: After a tough skating fall years ago, there’s hesitation to skate again, yet the show aims to inspire viewers to lace up their skates. While suggesting protective gear, it emphasizes the importance of admiring skilled performances and not attempting risky maneuvers at home. The program features talented skaters performing challenging choreography, with added weekly challenges and some inevitable injuries. The hosts hope to evoke childhood joy in skating and promote a positive community, supporting each other’s growth. As judges, they aim to nurture the athletes, providing constructive feedback while fostering an environment of encouragement and celebration.

Executive produced by Chip and Joanna Gaines, the new competition series will premiere on Thursday, October 10th on Max. Produced by Nikki Boella (America’s Got Talent; Rhythm + Flow) and Brian Lando (A Very Brady Renovation), Roller Jam is a six-episode competition series featuring the top roller-skating crews in the country dancing through the decades for a chance to win a $150,000 cash prize and a $10,000 donation to their local rink. Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum singer/songwriter and actress Jordin Sparks will host, with two-time U.S. Olympian and national figure skating champion Johnny Weir and roller-skating legend Terrell Ferguson serving as judges of the first-ever nationwide roller dancing competition on television. In each episode, skate teams must create all-new routines to perform for Johnny, Terrell, and a celebrity guest judge in front of a live audience with only one chosen as the ultimate roller dancing team in the country.
