Netflix’s Finding Her Edge has officially been renewed for Season 2, and early buzz centers on the evolving romance between Adriana Russo and Brayden Elliot. The young adult ice skating drama, which premiered its first season on January 22, 2026, quickly climbed Netflix charts and earned a passionate fanbase drawn to its mix of competitive figure skating, family legacy struggles, and a compelling love triangle. Season 2 will dive deeper into Adriana and Brayden’s relationship, transforming their initially forced partnership into genuine feelings amid rising competition stakes, emotional vulnerability, and heart-melting romantic moments.
Season 1 followed 17-year-old Adriana Russo (Madelyn Keys), the middle sister in a once-dominant figure skating family now facing financial ruin after their mother’s death. With her older sister Elise injured and unable to compete, Adriana reluctantly returns to the ice to save the Russo family rink. Her new partner is Brayden Elliot (Cale Ambrozic), a talented but cocky bad-boy skater whose reputation clashes with Adriana’s disciplined approach. To secure crucial sponsorships and keep the rink afloat, the two pretend to be a couple off the ice, sparking “Braydriana” chemistry that fans adored.
Complicating matters, Adriana’s former partner and first love Freddie O’Connell (Olly Atkins) reenters the scene with his new skating partner Riley. The love triangle intensifies as Adriana grapples with lingering feelings for Freddie while real attraction grows with Brayden. Their fake romance evolves into undeniable tension—stolen glances, charged rehearsals, and moments of support that make them better skaters and people. Despite strong chemistry and mutual growth, Season 1 ends with Adriana choosing to reunite with Freddie romantically and professionally, leaving Brayden heartbroken and deciding to quit competitive skating.
The renewal announcement on February 3, 2026, came swiftly after strong viewership numbers and viral social media love for the series. Creator Jennifer Iacopelli (who wrote the original 2022 YA novel) expressed delight at continuing the story, hinting that Season 2 will explore “deeper into the two love triangles that anchor our show—the romantic one and the familial one.” The cast and crew have teased a messier, more emotionally charged continuation, with Adriana’s choice creating new conflicts and opportunities for regret, growth, and redemption.
Season 2 will likely pick up after the World Championships, with Adriana and Freddie now partnered again on the ice. However, the unresolved feelings between Adriana and Brayden set the stage for a classic second-chance romance arc. Brayden, having left the competitive circuit in heartbreak, may return—perhaps through Voltage (the organization that acquired the Russo rink) or a new path that brings him back into Adriana’s orbit. The shift from forced partnership to real, vulnerable love promises heart-melting moments: honest conversations about past mistakes, tender reconciliations, and high-stakes skating sequences where their emotional connection translates into breathtaking performances.
The higher stakes will come from intensified competition, family pressures, and personal growth. Adriana must navigate her decision’s fallout—guilt over hurting Brayden, doubts about Freddie, and the challenge of rebuilding trust. Brayden’s journey could involve reclaiming his passion for skating while confronting his own insecurities and fears of vulnerability. The Russo family drama deepens too, with sisters Elise and Maria facing their own challenges, and the rink’s future hanging in the balance amid sponsorship battles and rivalries.
The ice dancing sequences remain a highlight, blending technical beauty with emotional storytelling. Expect more intricate lifts, spins, and footwork that mirror the characters’ inner turmoil and budding romance. The show’s signature elements—’80s-inspired aesthetics in the rink, heartfelt family moments, and the thrill of competition—will continue, amplified by the unresolved love triangle.
Fans have flooded social media with “Team Brayden” declarations, fan edits, and pleas for Adriana to recognize her true feelings. The chemistry between Madelyn Keys and Cale Ambrozic fueled much of Season 1’s appeal, and their slow-burn dynamic has viewers eagerly anticipating deeper exploration. The cast has expressed excitement in interviews, hinting at messier dynamics, more tension, and satisfying romantic payoff if Season 2 delivers on its promise.
No official premiere date has been announced, but given the quick renewal and production momentum, Season 2 could arrive in late 2026 or early 2027. With the Winter Olympics in the rearview and figure skating romance still trending, Finding Her Edge Season 2 is poised to deliver the emotional depth, steamy tension, and heart-melting moments fans crave. From forced partners to real love, Adriana and Brayden’s story is far from over—it’s just getting started.
