WildBrain is teaming up with Netflix and Family Channel to produce the new live-action, teen drama Finding Her Edge, based on Jennifer Iacopelli’s novel of the same name and inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion. Canadian author and executive producer Jeff Norton (pictured), who most recently executive produced Geek Girl, is showrunner for the series, which was commissioned in Canada by WildBrain’s Family Channel.
Finding Her Edge is set to start filming in February 2025 and will premiere at a later date with first-run on Family Channel in Canada and exclusively on Netflix in the rest of the world, with second-run in Canada.
The series follows the three Russo sisters, heirs to a struggling figure skating dynasty. As middle sister, seventeen-year-old Adriana trains for the World Championships with new partner Brayden, while still harboring feelings for her first love and former partner, Freddie. Her life becomes complicated when she and Brayden pretend to be a couple off the ice so they can land a sponsorship to keep the financially struggling Russo rink afloat.
