What is Icebreaker on Netflix about?
Competitive figure skater Stassie just transferred to University of California, Maple Hills and has to share the rink with Nate, a hockey player gunning for the NHL. Their lives “collide” and discipline gives way to obsession—with each other.
The show’s creator and executive producer Jade Bartlett (Road House, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Miller’s Girl) says Icebreaker has been a fun story to bring to life.
“It’s been such a joy to play in Hannah Grace’s world of Icebreaker, a story filled with ambitious, talented, and undeniably sexy characters. But the real special sauce is that, above all, they are good, deeply compassionate people … and we cannot get enough of them,” Bartlett says. “Hannah has created the kind of world you want to live in, and Amanda and I are having an absolute romp with our incredible teams at Unwell and Netflix, bringing this cherished story to the screen.”
The series is executive produced by Unwell Productions, from Alex Cooper, Matt Kaplan and Mina Lefevre. Bartlett and showrunner Amanda Lasher are writers and executive producers.
