Based on The #1 New York Times Best-Selling Novel by Hannah Grace

Netflix today announced a new college romance drama series, Icebreaker, based on the #1 New York Times best-selling novel by Hannah Grace. The news was shared live onstage by Netflix’s Head of Scripted Series for US and Canada, Jinny Howe, during a fireside chat at the BANFF World Media Festival.

Showrunner/Writer/Executive Producer: Amanda Lasher (Gossip Girl, Togetherness)

Writer/Executive Producer: Jade Bartlett (Road House, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Miller’s Girl)

Executive Producer: Unwell Productions – Alex Cooper, Matt Kaplan, and Mina Lefevre

Logline: 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.

Jinny Howe Quote: “Netflix has a long history of turning beloved romance novels into massive global hits. We know our members can’t get enough of these stories, which makes Icebreaker the perfect next chapter for us. By supercharging the hockey sports romance genre, Icebreaker has ignited a passionate fandom and helped redefine the landscape of contemporary romance. We are thrilled to partner with Jade Bartlett, Amanda Lasher, and the team at Unwell Productions to bring this irresistible love story to life.”

Amanda Lasher Quote: “I have been a fan of steamy YA since the 7th grade; reading Judy Blume stealthily hidden behind a text book. I love this genre, and it’s been a joy working with Jade, the team at Unwell and Netflix to bring Hannah Grace’s beloved Icebreaker novel to the screen..”

Jade Bartlett Quote: “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. 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.”

FIRST KISS debuts at The Toronto Fringe Festival 2026

About longing, belonging and some totally awesome 80s tunes.

One Asian girl’s biting commentary on being shut out of John Hughes romantic comedies of the era, FIRST KISS is 16 Candles meets Kim’s Convenience and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.

One Woman, Five Characters – Featuring multiple Canadian Screen Awards winner JOSETTE JORGE

Synopsis:

A coming-of-age musical about a Filipinx teen in 1980s suburbia who desperately wants to get her first kiss before she turns 16. She imagines it will be like Pretty in Pink, Breakfast Club or any of the popular rom coms of the day. But reality hits as she realizes no one looks like her in the movies, unless being the butt of the joke.

“I grew up not seeing myself on TV and now I work in TV but can’t get a show greenlit about an Asian teen in the 80s. This is a musical about being an outsider and finding your inner belief in yourself.” says Playwright, Nathalie Younglai.

“Ultimately, First Kiss is not really about a kiss. It’s about belonging. It’s about learning that your worth is not determined by whether someone chooses you, but by your ability to choose yourself.” adds Director, Damon Bradley Jang.

Caffeo, Toronto’s innovative specialty coffee destination where robotics meets craftsmanship, is entering its next chapter with the unveiling of a fully redesigned flagship location at 405 Richmond Street West. The relaunch introduces a vibrant new visual identity and an expanded precision-brewed menu, elevating the experience for coffee lovers at the city’s only 24/7 robotic café.

technology and community.

“We wanted to build a space that feels as exciting and innovative as the coffee itself, while staying focused on what matters most: delivering an exceptional cup every single time,” said Samee Motiwala, Founder and CEO of Caffeo. “Being open 24/7 in the heart of downtown Toronto allows us to serve the city on its schedule, whether that’s early-morning commuters, students studying late into the night, hospitality workers finishing a shift or anyone looking for a premium coffee experience whenever they need it.”

Alongside the redesign, Caffeo is introducing an expanded specialty coffee menu featuring new additions like the Osmanthus Latte and Caramel Popcorn Latte, alongside a selection of matcha-based drinks. With additional recipes and seasonal offerings currently in development, Caffeo continues to evolve its menu.

To celebrate the relaunch, Caffeo will host an all day celebration on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at its flagship location at 405 Richmond Street West. The public is invited to experience the newly redesigned space, sample the updated menu, capture the robotic brewing process in action and meet the team behind the concept.
