Premise

Chicken Girls tells the story of middle school student Rhyme McAdams and her friends, Ellie, Quinn, and Kayla – known as "The Chicken Girls" – who have been dancing together forever. The show follows the girls as they navigate dance, friendship, crushes, and learning how to grow up. But as they begin their freshman year at Attaway High School (season 3), everything's changing.

In Season 7, Harmony has found her own squad of Chicken Girls. With all the backstabbing, secret-keeping and boy drama, can the new girl group survive middle school?
