Netflix Cancels Ice Skating Drama 'Spinning Out' After Just One Season

Netflix has chosen to cancel Spinning Out after just one season.

The show, starring Kaya Scodelario, January Jones and Willow Shields, premiered at the beginning of the new year and quickly picked up a following on social media. However, it wasn’t enough to give it a second season.

Spinning Out centered on Kat, a high-level singles skater who reinvents her career following an injury as a pairs skater.

The final episode focused on Kat and her new pairs partner as they competed for a spot at Nationals. Fans will never know the outcome of that, as that bit would’ve been revealed in season two.
