The race is on: A brand-new series — set in the competitive world of high school rowing — will be making a splash this fall. From showrunner Vivian Lin, Crew Girl tells the story of Teagan Tao (Miku Martineau), a gifted 16-year-old single sculler whose promising future is derailed by a family scandal.
Forced to relocate to the East Coast with her mom (Jessica Paré), Teagan hopes to have a fresh start at the prestigious Easton Prep. But once there, she finds that she’s not just the outcast newcomer — she’s stuck on land. There’s no girls’ rowing team at Easton. Her only way onto the water? Taking the helm as coxswain for Easton’s notoriously chaotic boys’ varsity crew.
Thrown into a world of old money and ruthless competition, Teagan has to convince an entire team to trust her leadership — and each other. As she fights to reclaim her rowing dreams, manage the chaos of the crew, and navigate her family’s growing troubles, Teagan finds herself drawn into a rivalry of her own. She winds up caught between the arrogant team captain, Josh Regis (Sam Braun), and Cam Dillinger (Kyle Clark), a quiet but fiercely determined local who refuses to be underestimated.
Keep reading for more details on this exciting new sports romance, including some behind-the-scenes photos that will take you inside the posh world of Easton Prep. You’ll spot Martineau and the rest of the charming cast in the brand new pics.
The eight-episode series hits Netflix on Sept. 10.
