Finding Her Edge Season 2 is officially happening. Netflix has confirmed the renewal of the YA drama series following a strong debut that has kept the show firmly in the platform’s English-language Top 10 since its January launch.
The announcement comes less than a month after the series premiered on January 22, with Season 1 climbing to number three on the Netflix English TV chart this week. According to Netflix, the series has reached the Top 10 in 81 countries and has now surpassed 12 million views globally.
Why Netflix Is Moving Forward With Finding Her Edge Season 2
A Breakout Performance for Finding Her Edge on Netflix
From a performance standpoint, Finding Her Edge Season 2 arrives on the strength of sustained global engagement rather than a single opening-week spike. Netflix confirmed that the series has remained on the English TV Top 10 list since its debut, a notable hold for a new YA title competing in a crowded release window.
The show’s reach has extended well beyond North America, with Top 10 placements across dozens of international markets. Netflix did not announce a production start date or release window for Season 2 alongside the renewal.
Publishing Boost Tied to the Series Release
The adaptation’s success has also had a measurable impact on the original novel. Jennifer Iacopelli’s Finding Her Edge was first published in hardcover in 2022, with a Netflix-branded paperback edition released in December 2025.
According to Putnam Books for Young Readers, the paperback edition has sold significantly more copies in a short period. Publisher Jen Klonsky confirmed that the paperback sold 500 percent more copies in its first eight weeks than the hardcover edition did over the same timeframe.
The series is based directly on Iacopelli’s novel and follows the same core characters and central premise introduced in the book.
What Finding Her Edge Is About
Season 1 of Finding Her Edge centers on the Russo sisters, whose family-run figure skating rink is facing serious financial strain. The story focuses on Adriana Russo, a seventeen-year-old competitive skater training for the World Championships with a new partner, Brayden.
Complicating matters, Adriana still has unresolved feelings for her former partner and first love, Freddie. Off the ice, Adriana and Brayden agree to pose as a couple in order to secure a sponsorship that could keep the Russo rink open. The arrangement adds emotional and interpersonal pressure to an already demanding competitive season.
Creative Team and Production Leadership
Finding Her Edge Season 2 will continue under the leadership of showrunner and executive producer Jeff Norton, who also served as creator on Season 1. Norton previously worked on Geek Girl and The Small Hand.
The first season was directed by Shamim Sarif and Jacqueline Pepall. The writing team was led by head writer Shelley Scarrow, with scripts from Sabrina Sherif, Norton, and Pepall.
Executive producers include Josh Scherba, Stephanie Betts, and Angela Boudreault for WildBrain.
