Netflix\u2019s adaptation of Jennifer Iacopelli\u2019s BookTok sensation sports-romance novel, Finding Her Edge, has secured its future on the ice. After a brilliant start on the platform, Netflix has officially renewed the series for season 2 after its second week. Here\u2019s everything we know so far.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Finding Her Edge<\/a>, we follow Adriana Russo (Madelyn Keys), a former competitive skater from a family with an esteemed history in ice skating. When her proud older sister, Elise (Alexandra Beaton), is injured in competition, Adriana decides to put the skates back on. But it\u2019s not just for her own vanity. She needs to earn a sponsorship in order to save her esteemed family\u2019s struggling ice rink. With her former partner \u2014 and lover \u2014 Freddie (Ollie Atkins) moving on to another partner, she ends up pretending to be in love with her new on-ice partner Brayden (Cale Ambrozic), if only to secure the all-important sponsorship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Finding Her Edge has one of the spiciest and most emotionally conflicting love triangles you\u2019ll see on television. Whether you\u2019re Team Freddie or Team Brayden, it\u2019ll keep you on the edge of your seat until Adriana ultimately makes her choice in the season finale. Suffice to say, we thoroughly enjoyed the show. \u201cFinding Her Edge is a drama that\u2019ll attract a lot of demographics, and it delivers a pleasing story to each of them,\u201d we wrote in our review<\/a>. \u201cWhether that\u2019s teenage drama, romance, and sibling rivalries, which will draw in fans of Heartstopper and\u00a0slightly more adult-focused drama like Ginny & Georgia; or the young adult audience and fans of the novel; or indeed fans of figure skating.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s official: Netflix has renewed Finding Her Edge for a second season.<\/p>\n

The renewal comes hot on the heels of impressive performance data. While the show launched at #4 in the weekly top 10, it has since climbed to #3, accumulating over 12 million views since its January 22nd launch. It has also managed to break into the top 10 in 81 countries around the globe.<\/p>\n

Jen Klonsky, President and Publisher of Putnam Books for Young Readers, noted that the \u201cNetflix burst\u201d effect has been substantial for the source material, with the paperback selling \u201c500% more copies in just 8 weeks compared to the hardcover.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reacting to the renewal, showrunner Jeff Norton said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI set out to make a show about love, featuring characters navigating a particularly difficult path in their lives and in their sport. It\u2019s a true gift to be able to work with such a talented cast to extend these characters\u2019 journeys in Season 2, with the support of Netflix and WildBrain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Author Jennifer Iacopelli also shared her excitement:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am over the moon at the reception Finding Her Edge has received by viewers all over the world. To see my book come to life and watch the world fall in love with my characters has been a dream come true, and now that dream gets to continue with a season two! I can\u2019t wait for audiences to see what\u2019s in store for Adriana, Brayden, Freddie and the rest of Team Russo!\u201d<\/p>\n

Stacking up performance against other teen\/YA dramas from the past few years, you can see it ranks quite well as of week 2:<\/p>\n

What to expect from Finding Her Edge Season 2<\/p>\n

\"Finding<\/p>\n

The season 1 ending ties up many lingering plot points: Adriana chooses to pursue her relationship with childhood sweetheart Freddie after putting an end to her \u2018fake dating\u2019 partnership with Brayden.<\/p>\n

However, there\u00a0is no sequel to Iacopelli\u2019s 2022 novel. Any new material will be wholly original to the Netflix adaptation. Looking into its future, showrunner Jeff Norton has given us a hint of where the story is going.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m certain fans will be delighted as we delve deeper into the two love triangles that anchor our show\u2014the romantic one and the familial one,\u201d Norton said in a press release. \u201cThere\u2019s plenty of drama to come both on and off the ice.\u201d<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to What\u2019s on Netflix<\/a> prior to the renewal, Norton was already teasing the friction to come. While the Russo rink is technically saved at the end of Season 1, the solution brings its own problems.<\/p>\n

\u201cPractically speaking, we tee up at the end of season one that the Russo rink has been acquired by the rival rink, the Voltage Skating Academy,\u201d Norton told us. \u201cThere\u2019s an interesting dynamic to play with that as well. At some point, the Russo skaters are going to have to merge with the Voltage skaters. And I think there\u2019s lots of friction to be mined there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Norton also revealed that writing for the next chapter began almost immediately after wrapping the first season in Europe. \u201cWe finished filming Finding Her Edge in Paris\u2026 And I literally started writing more on the plane ride home back in June,\u201d he said. \u201cI think for me, it\u2019s really about the emotional lives of the characters and exploring that some of them have got what they want by the end of season two. But the interesting dramatic question is: is it what they need? That\u2019s the element emotionally I want to explore.\u201d<\/p>\n

The main cast members have also teased what they hope season 2 entails. Madelyn Keys wants Adriana to grow closer to those around her. \u00a0\u201cI want to see her be more engaged in the other people in her lives and realize that not everything is about her sometimes,\u201d she said. \u201cI\u2019d love her to be more of a support for not only her father, but also for the other people in her life.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for Ollie Atkins, he wants Freddie\u2019s competitive nature to shine through even further. \u201cI\u2019d like to see his competitive spirit unlocked,\u201d he said. \u201d I think that, with all of this history that he has in really compacting down his emotions and controlling how he expresses how he feels, I want to see him let loose. I think it would be really, really fun to play with.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s Brayden, who ends the series with Riley as his new skating partner. \u201cI thought we ended on a really great note for season 2, God willing,\u201d said star Cale Ambrozic.<\/p>\n

The pieces are in place for another instalment of Finding Her Edge.<\/p>\n
