Zero Chill: Netflix orders another ice skating YA drama
Netflix heads back to the ice with Zero Chill.
The streaming service only debuted their ice skating series, Spinning Out, earlier this month but already it’s looking for more. Deadline reports Netflix has ordered the YA drama, Zero Chill, which also focuses on skating.
Like Spinning Out, Zero Chill will have a sibling dynamic at the center. While the previous show focused on the mental, emotional, and physical toll that competitive skating can have on a person, the latter sounds a little lighter. The new series will center around a fifteen-year-old named Kayla, who must adapt when her family upends their life so her brother, Mac, can attending a prestigious hockey academy. Based on the description, Kayla will deal with standing in her brother’s shadow as well as her parents’ decision to move the family from Canada to the UK without considering her opinions.
Grace Beedie (Motherland: Fort Salem) and Dakota Benjamin Taylor are set to star as twins, Kayla and Mac. The rest of the cast includes Doug Rao, Sarah Jane Potts, Oscar Skagerberg, Jade Ma, Stanislaus Steinbichler, and Christina Tam.
The ten-episode season was created by Kirstie Falkous and John Regier, the writers behind Free Rein. Adam Usden (Ackley Bridge) is set to be the showrunner on the first season and is in charge of the writers room.
