Kaya Scodelario will skate into the lead role on ”Spinning Out”, a new edgy drama series from creator Samantha Stratton. As previously announced, Netflix has ordered 10 episodes.
The British actress replaces Emma Roberts.
Scodelario stars as Kat Baker, 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, 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.
Scodelario, known for her role on TV series “Skins”, starred as the female lead in “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” alongside Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Geoffrey Rush and Brenton Thwaites. She is perhaps most widely known in the US for her role in “The Maze Runner” film series, based on the popular novels by James Dashner. Most recently, the actress filmed “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile” alongside Zac Efron about the life of notorious serial killer Ted Bundy, which will premiere at Sundance in 2019. She also recently starred in the Paramount film, “Crawl,” which is an environmental horror set to premiere in 2019.
