Fans of Heated Rivalry, get ready for a fresh sports romance that’s just hit Netflix.
Netflix’s latest series, Finding Her Edge, brings together all the elements that make for a captivating romance. Expect to see a relationship of convenience, the classic enemies-to-lovers trope, and a tangled love triangle, among other exciting dynamics.
The storyline centers on the Russo sisters—Adriana, Elise, and Maria—who find themselves as the heirs to a declining figure skating legacy. With pressure mounting to rescue their family’s skating business, Adriana decides to step back onto the ice. She fakes a romance with her rebellious new skating partner, Brayden, hoping this ruse will secure a vital sponsorship to save their family’s rink. However, her unresolved feelings for Freddie, her ex-partner and first love, further complicate the situation.
Finding Her Edge draws inspiration from the young adult novel by Jennifer Iacopelli. The adaptation is brought to life by Shelley Scarrow, known for her work on Degrassi: The Next Generation, and has launched just in time to capture the excitement of the Winter Olympics.
This Canadian series boasts a stellar cast over its eight episodes, all of which are now available for streaming on Netflix. Continue reading to discover more about the talented cast of Finding Her Edge.
