Spinning Out, the 10-episode drama series is set in the world of competitive figure skating follows Kat Baker (Kaya Scodelario) is an up-and-coming, high-level single skater who's about to turn in her skates after a disastrous fall took her off the competition track. When Kat seizes an opportunity to continue her career as a pair skater with a talented bad-boy partner (Evan Roderick), she risks exposing a fiercely kept secret that could unravel her entire life. On and off the ice, Kat and her new partner will face daunting odds, injury to body and soul, financial sacrifice, and even potential mental breakdown on their way to realizing their Olympic dream.
Two-time Olympian, NBC Correspondent, and Food Network host Johnny Weir is Gabe. Gabe seems like an easy-going guy but under his funny, laidback exterior he’s a cutthroat competitor who will stop at nothing to beat Kat and Justin.

Kaitlyn Leeb (Shadowhunters, Total Recall, Slasher) is Leah, Gabe's skating partner who is as mean as she is beautiful. When she's replaced by Kat as Justin's pair partner, she makes it her life's mission to take the two of them down.
Amanda Zhou (October Faction, IT: Chapter Two) is Jenn, Kat's foul-mouthed best friend who doesn't suffer fools. Jenn is an extremely talented single skater, the daughter of Chinese immigrants who own a successful local sporting goods store, and Serena's main competition.
