Netflix has greenlit the YA series “Crew Girl,” with the show now in production in Victoria, British Columbia.
Miku Martineau (“Bet,” “Kate,” “Star Trek: Section 31”) will lead the cast, which also includes Jessica Paré (“SEAL Team,” “Mad Men”) as Ella, Samuel Braun (“The Marshmallow Experiment,” “Time Cut,” “Bad Genius”) as Josh, Kyle Clark (“Hello,” “Goodbye and Everything,” “The Baby-Sitter’s Club,” “Riverdale”) as Cam, and Thomas Cadrot (“Scream,” “So Help Me Todd,” “Family Law”).
The official logline for the series states:
“A frothy, coming-of-age teen drama about a 16-year-old female rower Teagan (Martineau) who becomes the coxswain of a dysfunctional all-boys rowing team at an elite East Coast Prep School. Warring rivals, messy romantic entanglements, and betrayed friendships spill drama both in and out of the boat. Not to mention her complicated relationship with her mom, Ella (Paré). The team’s a mess, her life’s a mess. Can she fix both and win?”
Vivian Lin serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Jeff Norton, Lindsay Macadam, Hillary Zwick Turner, Tony Chung, and Lori Massini also executive produce. The series is produced by Thunderbird Entertainment’s scripted and unscripted live action division, Great Pacific Media.
This marks the latest Netflix project in which Martineau has starred. Most recently, she played the lead role in the teen drama “Bet” and also starred in the 2021 Netflix film “Kate.”
Other productions that hail from Thunderbird Entertainment include “Sidelined: The QB and Me,” “Boot Camp,” “Kim’s Convenience,” “Mermicorno: Starfall,” “Super Team Canada,” ‘Molly of Denali,” and “Highway Thru Hell.”
