The drama will follow Anastasia Allen, a competitive figure skater with her eyes on Olympic gold. Everything changes when she is forced to share the rink with Nate Hawkins, a hockey player who's equally determined to go pro. Despite the cold temperatures on the ice, the heat between Anastasia and Nate is undeniable. Is ambition or attraction the sharper blade?
Jade Bartlett developed the drama, with Amanda Lasher set as showrunner on the first season. They will executive produce with Alex Cooper, Matt Kaplan and Meena Lefevre. Unwell Productions will produce.
"I have been a fan of steamy YA since the 7th grade; reading Judy Blume stealthily hidden behind a text book," said Lasher. "I love this genre, and it's been a joy working with Jade, the team at Unwell and Netflix to bring Hannah Grace's beloved Icebreaker novel to the screen."
"It's been such a joy to play in Hannah Grace's world of Icebreaker; a story filled with ambitious, talented, and undeniably sexy characters," added Bartlett. "But the real special sauce is that, above all, they are good, deeply compassionate people... and we cannot get enough of them. Hannah has created the kind of world you want to live in, and Amanda and I are having an absolute romp with our incredible teams at Unwell and Netflix bringing this cherished story to the screen."
