#FIRSTLOOK: “FINDING HER EDGE” SEASON 2 NEW CASTING ANNOUNCEMENTS

Netflix and WildBrain, a global leader in kids’ and family entertainment, today announced new cast members joining the returning stars from Season 1 for Season 2 of Netflix’s hit global teen drama series Finding Her Edge. The series is currently filming on location in Southern Ontario through December.

Joining the returning cast as new series regulars are newcomer Nikita J Olechko (Snowpiercer) as ‘Andrej,’ Voltage Academy’s star singles skater; British actress Niamh Blackshaw (The Jetty) as ‘Freya,’ a rival ice dancer at Voltage Academy; Matthew Finlan (Sheriff Country) as ‘David,’ Freya’s partner and a rival ice dancer at the Academy; Canadian singer-songwriter Johnny Orlando (3 x MTV EMA Winner and 2 x JUNO Nominee) as charismatic local ‘Jesse,’; and Canadian Olympic medal-winning figure skater Elvis Stojko (Murdoch Mysteries, Hate the Player: The Ben Johnson Story), who returns as a series regular playing ‘Kevin,’ the owner of Voltage Academy.

New cast joining as recurring characters include Justine Nelson (Mind Fudge) as ‘Lucy Grant,’ Voltage Academy’s lead choreographer; CSA and ACTRA Award-winning actor Saara Chaudry (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, Holly Hobbie) as ‘Zoie,’ Brayden’s former skating partner and ex; and Matt Wells (Who’s Yer Father?, North of North) as ‘Mason Guilbart,’ Adriana and Brayden’s new coach at Voltage Academy.

In Season 2, the Russo sisters trade their family rink for the cutthroat pressure of Voltage Academy, where every skate could make or break their National Team ambitions. As the pressure mounts on and off the ice, Adriana finds herself torn between her loyal boyfriend, Freddie, and Brayden, the former skating partner she never truly left behind.

The new cast joins returning stars Madelyn Keys (A Mother’s Life, The Exchange), Harmon Walsh (Gossip Girl, Murdoch Mysteries), Alexandra Beaton (Overcompensating, Luckiest Girl Alive), Cale Ambrozic (Hotel Cocaine, We Were Liars), Olly Atkins (Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Casket Girls), Meredith Florenza (Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent, Blindspot), Alice Malakhov (Anne With an E, Reverse 1999), Millie Davis (The Umbrella Academy, Wonder), and Yona Epstein Roth (The Boys).

Season 2 also welcomes directors Paolo Barzman (Wynonna Earp, Sky Med), Melanie Orr (Mistletoe Murders, Hardy Boys), James Genn (Wild Cards, You’re Killing Me), and Jacqueline Pepall (Horrible Histories, Goldies Oldies), 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 (Geek Girl, Crew Girl) returns as showrunner, alongside Executive Producer and Head Writer Shelley Scarrow (Wynonna Earp, Degrassi: The Next Generation). Season 2 writers also include Sabrina Sherif (The Summer I Turned Pretty, The Hardy Boys), 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.

Finding Her Edge is produced by WildBrain and was commissioned in association with Netflix. Based on the novel by Jennifer Iacopelli, Season 1 released on January 22, 2026 and debuted #4 in the Netflix Global Top 10 and reached Top 10 in 81 countries. The massive popularity on Netflix also increased book sales and audio book listens.
