In Season 2, the Russo sisters trade their family rink for the cutthroat pressure of Voltage Academy. Here every skate could make or break their National Team ambitions.

Season 2 also welcomes directors Paolo Barzman (Wynonna Earp), Melanie Orr (Mistletoe Murders), James Genn (You’re Killing Me), and Jacqueline Pepall (Horrible Histories), who returns after directing Season 1.

Executive Producers for WildBrain include Josh Scherba, President & CEO; Stephanie Betts, Chief Content Officer; and Angela Boudreault, Vice President, Live-Action. Award-winning Canadian author and Executive Producer Jeff Norton (Crew Girl) returns as showrunner, alongside Executive Producer and Head Writer Shelley Scarrow (Wynonna Earp). Season 2 writers also include Sabrina Sherif (The Summer I Turned Pretty), Jeff Norton, and Jacqueline Pepall.

“It’s a true privilege to hit the ice for a second season with this incredible cast, and to further the stories of our inspirational characters in a juicy, soapy sophomore season of Finding Her Edge,” said series showrunner, executive producer and writer Jeff Norton.
