Netflix is planning a new romantic series based on a well-known novel. Lovers of love stories, dreamy series and pure romance, get ready because a long-awaited serial adaptation is about to arrive, that of Finding Her Edge, the novel by New York writer Jennifer Iacopelli.
Released in February 2022, Finding Her Edge is the fourth solo novel by the American writer defined as “romantic and exciting” which tells the story of an elite ice skater, Adriana Russo as she finds herself attracted to two men at the same time: both her old dance partner than the new one.
The series will be a faithful adaptation of the book, without distorting the plot, inspired, in its intent, by Jane Austen’s work “Persuasion”, already adapted several times by Netflix, most recently with the 2022 film starring Dakota Johnson.
Showrunner of the series will be Jeff Norton, the executive producer of Geek Girl, the 2024 Netflix title.
