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.
