Netflix today dropped first look photos from the upcoming sports romance series, Crew Girl, starring Miku Martineau (BET, Kate), from showrunner Vivian Lin (The Lake, Killjoys). Premiering September 10, the series centers on Teagan Tao (Martineau), a 16-year-old single sculler whose once-bright future is thrown off course by a family scandal.
Crew Girl also stars Jessica Paré (SEAL Team, Mad Men) as as Teagan’s mom, Ella Tao, Sam Braun (The Way Home, Time Cut) as Josh Regis, Kyle Clark (Girl in the Cellar, Home Before Dark) as Cam Dillinger, and Thomas Cadrot (So Help Me Todd, Screm VI) as Coach Matt Hayden.
The official synopsis reads: “Sixteen-year-old Teagan Tao (Miku Martineau) was a rising star in single sculls rowing until a family scandal capsized her future. Forced to relocate with her mom (Jessica Paré) to the East Coast, Teagan starts over at the prestigious Easton Prep, where she’s not just an outcast but stuck aground – there’s no girls’ rowing team. Her only way to the water is to take the helm of the school’s notoriously dysfunctional boys’ varsity crew as their coxswain. Thrust into a world of old money and brutal competition, Teagan must find a way to lead a team that doesn’t want her and somehow bring them together. As she juggles her own rowing ambitions, the demands of the boys’ crew, and her family’s escalating complications, she also finds herself unexpectedly caught in the orbit of the team’s two most competitive rivals: the arrogant team captain, Josh Regis (Sam Braun), and the quiet but intensely driven underdog, Cam Dillinger (Kyle Clark).”
Additional cast include Riley Davis (Off Campus), Olga Petsa (I Used to Be Funny), Connor Wong (Cruel Summer), Vincent Muller (Clown in a Cornfield), Connor Paton (Riverdale), Jude Wilson (Fellow Travelers), Tyler Roberge (Hope Valley: 1874), and Niall Matter (Providence Falls).
