Binge-worthy Netflix drama gets exciting update as debut continues to trend in the UK top 10

Great news, Crew Girls fans – the show has been given an exciting update on its future. The Canadian Netflix teen drama first debuted earlier this month, and has proved very popular.

The eight-part show currently sits at the number six spot in the streamer's UK Top 10, and in the wake of its success, the company has confirmed that it will be back for season two!

"I am beyond excited for Crew Girl Season 2!" said lead star Miku Martineau (via Tudum). "There’s so much left to explore with the characters, the romances, and the rowing team — it’s going to be a ride for sure!

"All I know is that it will definitely be a packed, juicy, drama-filled second season, so I’m ready to get back in a boat and on camera! #Teamteagan."

Crew Girl follows Martineau's character Teagan Tao, a teenager who relocates to the US East Coast with her mother in the wake of a family scandal. A rowing star, she discovers that her new school has no team, and subsequently joins the boys' crew as a coxswain.

There, she sparks "rivalry and attraction", including being torn between boys Josh (Sam Braun) and Cam (Kyle Clark).

Teasing where the new episodes could go following the season one finale, star Braun proposed: "I think we should go on summer break or something, get lost in the woods. It’d be really fun to do a summer bash and be on the lake boat and see what their life is [like] outside of rowing too."

Clark added: "We really want to step it up. I would love to try single sculling."

Martineau also teased Teagan getting to row again, especially with a girls' team possibly on the way, saying: "It’s going to be interesting to watch. She has such an attachment to the boys’ team, but she’s also in pursuit of her own rowing career."

Crew Girl season one is streaming now on Netflix.
