The Netflix ice skating drama Spinning Out, despite a relatively small fanbase, is loved by the majority of the viewers who decided to give it a go. The show touched on several real-life social issues related to mental illness, in particular bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, as well as racism and predatory sexual instincts.

For most fans, the first season of Spinning Out left us craving for more. We couldn’t get enough of the beautiful chemistry between the lead characters Kat Baker and Justin Davis, played by Kaya Scodelario and Evan Roderick, respectively.

Besides Kat and Justin, there were several interesting subplots involving a talented group of cast, most notably Willow Shields (Serena Baker), David James Elliot (James Davis), Sarah Wright Olsen (Mandy Davis), Svetlana Efremova (Dasha Fedorova), Amanda Zhou (Jenn Yu), Mitchell Edwards (Marcus Holmes), Kaitlyn Leeb (Leah Starnes), Will Kemp (Mitch Saunders), and January Jones (Carol Baker).

Although Spinning Out season 2 initially looked to be on the cards with several exciting plot points, Netflix shockingly decided to cancel the show, much to the dismay of fans. However, fans weren’t willing to give up just yet. They subsequently took it upon themselves to start a petition demanding the second season of this fascinating figure skating drama.

Netflix may have canceled Spinning Out, but fans are still hopeful some other network might pick up this wonderful show in the near future.
