Netflix announced Wednesday that Paul Wesley, of “Vampire Diaries” fame, is joining the cast of “Icebreaker.”
The 44-year-old will play Coach Faulkner, a former NHL player, in the upcoming romance.
The series from Netflix joins other notable romance series set on ice—Crave’s “Heated Rivalry” and Prime Video’s “Off-Campus.” “Icebreaker,” however, includes a bit of figure skating to spice things up.
“Icebreaker” is the first book in Hannah Grace’s Maple Hill series, which also includes “Wildfire” and “Daydream.” Each focuses on a different couple from Maple Hill.
The book follows competitive figure skater Anastasia Allen and Nate Hawkins, a hockey player determined to go pro.
“Despite the cold temperatures on the ice, the heat between Anastasia and Nate is undeniable,” a synopsis of the book reads. “But, is ambition or attraction the sharper blade?”
Amanda Lasher is expected to serve as showrunner on the series. She and Jade Bartlett will co-write and executive produce. Alex Cooper, Matt Kaplan and Mina Lefevre will also executive produce on behalf of Unwell Productions.
