Netflix "has found its leads for Icebreaker, its series adaptation of Hannah Grace's bestselling 2022 novel," Deadline reported. Daisy Jelley (Poser, How to Have Sex) will play Anastasia "Stassie" Allen, and Connor Simos (Subversion) will portray Nate Hawkins in the college hockey romance series.
The storyline: "In Icebreaker, she is the transfer gunning for Olympic gold. He is the campus star chasing the NHL. But when an accident forces their teams to share one rink, Anastasia Allen and Nate Hawkins collide--and discipline gives way to obsession, because the only thing more dangerous than wanting to win is wanting each other," Deadline noted.
The project is created and executive produced by Jade Halley Bartlett (Road House, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Miller's Girl). Amanda Lasher (Gossip Girl, The Bold Type, Togetherness) serves as showrunner, writer and exec producer. Grace also executive produces along with Alex Cooper, Matt Kaplan and Mina Lefevre for Cooper's Unwell Productions.
