Netflix’s young adult figure skating drama Finding Her Edge has officially been renewed for a second season, just weeks after its January 22 premiere sent viewership soaring and sparked widespread buzz among teens and sports fans alike. The streamer announced the pickup on February 3, 2026, citing strong performance metrics and a surge in related book sales for the original Jennifer Iacopelli novel.
Finding Her Edge, a Canadian-produced series adapted from Iacopelli’s 2022 YA romance, follows the Russo family—three sisters inheriting a struggling figure skating dynasty. At the center is 17-year-old middle sister Adriana Russo (Madelyn Keys), who returns to competitive ice dancing after a hiatus. Paired with charismatic new partner Brayden Elliot (Cale Ambrozic), she trains intensely for the World Championships while grappling with lingering feelings for her former partner and first love, Freddie O’Connell (Olly Atkins). The plot thickens with a fake off-ice romance engineered to secure sponsorships and keep the family-owned Russo Rink afloat amid financial pressures.
Season 1, consisting of eight episodes, blends high-stakes sports action with soapy teen drama: sibling rivalries between Adriana, older sister Elise (Alexandra Beaton), and younger sister Maria (Alice Malakhov); parental expectations from coaches Will and Sarah Russo (Harmon Walsh and Celia Owen); and the intense physical and emotional demands of pairs skating. The series premiered to solid numbers, debuting in Netflix’s English TV Top 10 and holding steady, eventually climbing to No. 3 in recent weeks with over 12 million views reported. It also reached the Top 10 in 81 countries, boosting the source novel’s sales significantly.
The renewal came swiftly, reflecting Netflix’s strategy with YA hits like My Life With the Walter Boys, which often secure quick follow-ups after strong debuts. No official release date for Season 2 has been announced, but industry observers and outlets like Brit + Co speculate a potential early 2027 premiere, given the show’s January 2026 launch and Netflix’s pattern of annual seasons for similar teen dramas. Production remains in early stages, with no filming start date confirmed.
A Season 2 trailer has not yet been released—only a brief teaser clip shared on Netflix’s TikTok and other platforms, featuring cast member Madelyn Keys addressing fans directly. In the clip, Keys teases, “This is the best news ever… And you will have to tune in for season two to see if I end up with Freddy or Braden. I don’t know. We’ll find out.” The short video emphasizes themes of “personal growth and self-discovery,” hinting at deeper character exploration amid the ongoing love triangle.
Fan speculation is already rampant, particularly around the central romantic conflict. Season 1 ended on a note of unresolved tension, with Adriana’s choices leaving viewers divided between “Team Brayden” (the new, supportive partner who helps her grow) and “Team Freddie” (the passionate first love tied to her past). Social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit’s figure skating communities have exploded with debates, fan edits, and predictions. Some point to the book’s trajectory for clues, though the series has diverged in details. Author Jennifer Iacopelli has expressed enthusiasm for the renewal, noting in statements that the adaptation captured the story’s heart while opening doors for new developments.
The cast has voiced excitement about returning. In interviews, Keys described the role as a “dream” and praised the quick renewal, saying it allows more time to explore Adriana’s complexities. Co-stars Cale Ambrozic and Olly Atkins have similarly indicated interest in reprising their roles, fueling hopes that the core trio will remain intact. Supporting players, including the Russo family ensemble, are expected to return, with potential for expanded arcs involving Elise and Maria’s own skating journeys.
The show’s timing aligns perfectly with real-world figure skating interest, arriving ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics and capitalizing on the genre’s appeal—think Ice Princess meets modern teen romance. Critics and viewers have praised the authentic skating sequences (featuring stunt doubles and consultants from the sport) alongside the emotional drama. While some in figure skating forums have critiqued minor technical inaccuracies, the series has been lauded for its accessibility and heartfelt portrayal of family legacy pressures.
Showrunner Jeff Norton, in recent interviews, highlighted the collaborative development process, originally pitched for Canadian broadcast before landing at Netflix. He teased that Season 2 will “dive deeper” into the characters’ growth, likely escalating the romantic stakes, sponsorship battles, and family dynamics. With the rink’s future still uncertain and international competitions looming, the series has room to explore higher-stakes events like Olympic qualifiers or World Championships fallout.
As Finding Her Edge prepares to return, its success underscores Netflix’s investment in feel-good yet dramatic YA content. Whether Adriana finds her edge on the ice—and in love—remains the biggest question. For now, fans can rewatch Season 1 on Netflix and brace for more twists when the skates hit the ice again.
