Breaking the Ice is a documentary television series following skating champion Rory Flack and her groundbreaking journey leading the first all diverse, competitive synchronized ice skating team. The team is comprised of ten middle and high school girls who 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 Nationals competition.
The series premiered on July 6, 2023 on WE tv and three days later on the Allblk streaming site. The first eight-episode season was produced for WE tv by ITV America’s Sirens Media. Mioshi Hill, Tim Cohen-Laurie and Wendi Wan are executive producers for Sirens Media.
Also serving as executive producers on the series are Jon Crowley and Burt Kearns. Crowley and Kearns are also creators of the series. Both veteran, award-winning television producers, writers, developers and showrunners, the creative partners conceived of and orginally cast Breaking the Ice, and shepherded it toward and through production over a seven-year period, amid COVID pandemic lockdown and network delays.
Angela Molloy executive produces for WE tv.
Rory Flack, the first Black woman to win the US Open Professional Figure Skating Championships and leader of Team DMV, based in the Washington, D.C. area, told People magazine that she hoped the series would “bring the urban streets onto the ice.”
