Netflix Orders 'Icebreaker' Series After Novel's 70-Week Bestseller Run

Summary
Netflix has greenlit a TV adaptation of Hannah Grace’s hockey romance novel "Icebreaker," bringing the best-selling book to series rather than film.
Amanda Lasher will serve as showrunner, while Jade Bartlett developed and wrote the pilot and will write the series with Lasher; Alex Cooper produces through Unwell Productions.
"Icebreaker" follows competitive figure skater Anastasia Allen, whose Olympic ambitions are upended when she must share a rink with hockey player Nate Hawkins.
The project taps a proven audience: the first book in Grace’s Maple Hills trilogy spent 70 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list as streamers keep leaning into romance adaptations.
