Figure Skating Drama ‘Finding Her Edge’

Based from a best-selling young adult novel, figure skating drama “Finding Her Edge” is now streaming on Netflix.

In a desperate attempt to keep her family’s picturesque Ontario ice rink — and Olympic legacy — afloat, a retired figure skater returns to the world of competitive ice dancing with a new bad boy partner. But when she runs into her old partner (aka her first love) on the competition circuit, she begins to find out that balancing a love triangle, family drama, and her own future prospects might be impossible.

Adapted for TV by Shelley Scarrow (Degrassi: The Next Generation), Finding Her Edge stars Madelyn Keys (A Mother’s Lie), Olly Atkins (Percy Jackson and the Olympians), and Cale Ambrozic (We Were Liars). The young adult series features cameos from Canadian ice dancing stars Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier, whom you can also catch in the upcoming Netflix docuseries Glitter & Gold: Ice Dancing, which captures their approach to the 2026 Winter Olympics.

What happens in Finding Her Edge?

Adriana Russo (Keys) might have hung up her figure skates after her gold medalist mom died two years ago, but a champion still lives in her. So when she gets a chance to carry on her family’s Olympic legacy, she jumps at it. The problem is, she can’t skate with her old ice-dancing partner, Freddie (Atkins), because when she quit the sport two years ago, she also bailed on their relationship. The only other athlete capable of winning competitions with her is the last person in the world she wants to skate with: the cocky bad boy of ice dancing, Brayden Elliot (Ambrozic). As Adriana tries to find a way to work with Brayden, she’s caught off guard when Freddie and his new partner show up with the rest of the Canadian Olympic hopefuls to train at her family’s elite ice rink. At first, Freddie seems ready to forgive and forget — perhaps even rekindle something — until he sees her skate with Brayden. Because, despite the vitriol Adriana and Brayden spew at each other, their chemistry on the ice is undeniable. Can Adriana conquer the competitive world of ice dancing, or will boy drama dash her Olympic dreams?
