Netflix’s ice-skating drama Spinning Out is getting an Olympian’s touch.
The Hollywood Reporter confirms that former Olympian Johnny Weir has joined the cast of Netflix’s upcoming skating drama. Weir will star opposite five other actors who have signed on to the series including leads Kaya Scodelario and Evan Roderick.
According to the show’s official logline, Spinning Out focuses on Kat Baker (Scodelario), an up-and-coming single skater. After a disastrous fall, she realizes she can continue her career if she enters the paired skating division. She partners with “a talented bad boy” named Justin (Roderick), however, their partnership “risks exposing a fiercely kept secret that could unravel her entire life.”
Weir will play Gabe, an ice skater who may seem like an easy-going guy, but underneath he’s a cutthroat competitor who’ll stop at nothing to beat Kat and Justin.
Spinning Out hails from Samantha Stratton.
