ICEBREAKER Netflix YA Drama Sets Cast

Darryl Ley 1 hour ago 2 min read

Netflix have added six new cast members to Icebreaker, their YA drama that will roll cameras next month.

This new show is an adaptation of the best selling novel series Icebreaker from author Hannah Grace. The first book in the series Maple Hills spent well over a year on the best seller list and sold over 5 million copies.

Anastasia Allen has worked her entire life for a shot at Team USA. It looks like everything is going according to plan when she gets a full scholarship to the University of California, Maple Hills and lands a place on their competitive figure skating team. Nothing will stand in her way, not even the captain of the hockey team, Nate Hawkins.

Nate’s focus as team captain is on keeping his team on the ice. Which is tricky when a facilities mishap means they are forced to share a rink with the figure skating team—including Anastasia, who clearly can’t stand him. But when Anastasia’s skating partner faces an uncertain future, she may have to look to Nate to take her shot. Sparks fly, but Anastasia isn’t worried…because she could never like a hockey player, right?

Joining leads Daisy Jelley (Feed) and Connor Simos (Subversion) are:

Gabriel Tierney (Enola Holmes 2) will play Aaron
Auliʻi Cravalho (Moana) will portray Lola
Newcomer and Professional Athlete Peter Berry is Robbie
Chaneil Kular (Best of the Best) will play JJ
Devin Craig (Sex Lives of College Girls) will portray Henry
