Breaking the Ice is a documentary television series that follows American figure skater Rory Flack, who led "the first all diverse, competitive synchronized ice skating team" composed of 10 middle and high school-aged girls. The girls "endure rigorous training on and off the ice, and must manage team dynamics, as well as outspoken parents and skating rivals, on their way to the Nationals championship competition".[1]
The series premiered on July 6, 2023, on WE tv and three days later on the Allblk streaming site.[2] The first eight-episode season was produced for WE tv by ITV America's Sirens Media.[citation needed] Jon Crowley and Burt Kearns conceptualized and executive produced the show.[3]
Production was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic; as a result, the show needed to be repitched to executives and recast.[3]
