What to know about Netflix’s Heated Rivalry-like series
Upcoming Netflix series Icebreaker is based on Hannah Grace’s bestselling novel. The hockey romance follows Anastasia “Stassie” Allen and Nate Hawkins, who are forced to share a single campus ice rink. The series will focus on the tension and growing chemistry between Stassie and Nate.
The synopsis for the show, per Elle, reads, “She’s the transfer gunning for Olympic gold. He’s 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.”
Jade Halley Bartlett created the show, and Amanda Lasher wrote it. Lasher also serves as the showrunner for Icebreaker. Bartlett and Lasher, along with Unwell Productions (Alex Cooper, Matt Kaplan, and Mina Lefevre), are executive producers.
