The new Netflix teen drama Finding Her Edge just landed on the streaming service, and viewers who have already finished all eight episodes are asking one big question: will there be a season two? The show, which follows the high-stakes world of competitive ice dancing, ended its first season with major changes and unresolved tensions, leaving the door wide open for more story. As of now, Netflix has not made a decision about the show’s future.
The Current Status of a Season 2 Renewal
As of late January 2026, Netflix has not renewed Finding Her Edge for a second season. The platform has also not canceled the show. This means the series is in a common waiting period where Netflix evaluates the show’s performance before deciding its fate.
The decision is expected to depend heavily on how many people watch the series in its first weeks and, importantly, how many of those viewers complete the entire season. Netflix often looks at these “completion rates” when deciding whether to greenlight more episodes. The show faces some challenges, as it has received a mixed reaction from critics and audiences and is being compared to Netflix’s previous ice-skating drama, Spinning Out, which was canceled after one season.
Cast Hopes and Character Directions for a Potential New Season
While Netflix decides, the actors are ready and willing to return to the ice. In a recent interview, the cast shared their thoughts on the cliffhanger ending and where their characters could go next.
Madelyn Keys, who plays protagonist Adriana Russo, described her character’s shock at seeing her new partner, Brayden, skating with her best friend, Riley. “Adriana has an initial shock, and perhaps some feelings of jealousy – even if she doesn’t want them to be there – and then a sense of, ‘OK, how am I going to handle this?’”
For Cale Ambrozic, who plays the complex Brayden Elliott, the ending sets his character on a new, possibly darker path. He suggests Brayden is now “out for blood” and ready for a villain arc in a second season. Ambrozic explained that after being hurt by his parents and then by Adriana’s choices, Brayden’s motivation for partnering with Riley is twofold: “I can have a great partner, and I can hurt the people that hurt me”.
In contrast, Olly Atkins says his character, Freddie, ends season one in a positive place. “Freddie spent a lot of the first season looking towards the past… and I think for season two he’s going into it with a lot of newfound courage to make a mark for himself in the world”.
Where the Story Could Go Next: Plot Possibilities
The first season finale set the stage for several major storylines. The central love triangle took a dramatic turn, with Adriana choosing to skate and potentially rekindle a romance with her ex, Freddie. This leaves her former partner, Brayden, feeling betrayed and paired with Adriana’s best friend, Riley.
This partner swap creates the foundation for a intense new rivalry. A second season would likely focus on both couples training and competing against each other, with personal jealousy fueling their professional competition. The series could also explore a major upcoming competition, such as qualifying for the Winter Olympics, which would raise the stakes significantly.
Beyond the ice, other characters have unfinished journeys. The youngest Russo sister, Maria, decided to quit skating to pursue drama and a normal school life. Her story in a new season could focus on this self-discovery away from her family’s legacy. Meanwhile, the eldest sister, Elise, struggled with injuries and pressure throughout season one. A second season could follow her path to recovery or a new role, perhaps as a coach at the family’s rink, which has been rebranded as the Voltage Academy.

Fan Reactions and the Show’s Performance
Since its release on January 22, 2026, Finding Her Edge has sparked conversations online. Fans of young adult dramas and sports stories have taken to social media to discuss the love triangle, the skating scenes, and the cliffhanger ending.
The show’s future is not just in the hands of Netflix executives but also in the hands of viewers. A key factor for renewal will be if the show manages to attract a large and dedicated audience quickly. The series is based on a young adult novel by Jennifer Iacopelli, who has a second book in the series ready, providing clear source material for more episodes. The novel itself is a modern take on Jane Austen’s Persuasion.
For viewers who have just discovered the series, all eight episodes of the first season are available to stream globally on Netflix. The main cast includes Madelyn Keys, Cale Ambrozic, Olly Atkins, Alexandra Beaton, Alice Malakhov, and Harmon Walsh.
