- Netflix renewed "Crew Girl" for Season 2 on Wednesday, with star Miku Martineau promising a "packed, juicy, drama-filled" second season and teasing unresolved romances and the rowing team storyline.
- "Crew Girl" debuted Sept. 10 and has stayed on the Netflix English TV Top 10 since release, climbing to No. 2 this week with more than 16 million views and charting in over 90 countries.
- The eight-episode first season follows 16-year-old Teagan Tao (Martineau), who joins the all-boys crew team at Easton Academy as coxswain after her father's financial fraud forces her family to relocate to her mother's hometown.
- The Season 1 finale leaves Tao's love life unresolved between Josh (Samuel Braun) and Cam (Kyle Clark), while nemesis Britney (Sage Linder) pledges to help create a girls crew team.
- Blue Ant Studios executive produces alongside Vivian Lin, Jeff Norton, Lindsay Macadam, Hillary Zwick Turner, Tony Chung, Lori Massini, Matthew Hornburg, Mark J.W. Bishop, and Jennifer McCarron.
Why it matters: The fast turnaround — from a Sept. 10 debut to a Season 2 pickup in under two months — reflects Netflix's confidence in a YA property that has already cleared 16 million views and cracked the Top 10 in 90-plus countries, giving the streamer a newer entry in its young-adult slate ahead of the girls-crew-team storyline teased at season's end.
