JOHNNY WEIR, SARAH WRIGHT OLSEN, WILL KEMP, AND MORE JOIN CAST OF NETFLIX ICE-SKATING DRAMA SERIES SPINNING OUT
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.
Sarah Wright Olsen (American Made, Marry Me) is Mandy, Justin’s stepmother. Raised in rural Kentucky, Mandy started her own real estate business from scratch. She fell in love with Justin's widower father when she sold him a house, and has helped raise his two younger sons.
Will Kemp (Reign, Girlfriends' Guide to Divorce) is Mitch, the charming, British ‘it coach’ in the region who has gotten scores of girls into high-level competitions. When he first signs on to be Serena's coach, she's sure she will finally best her sister.
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.
Mitchell Edwards (All American, The Fix, Roxanne Roxanne) is Marcus, son of a prominent African American family, and Kat's co-worker at the lodge bar. Besides being a bartender, he is also a gifted skier who is trying to find his place in a predominantly white sport.
