Crew Girl rose to the #2 show on Netflix last week.
Crew Girl tells the story of Teagan Tao (Miku Martineau), a gifted 16-year-old single sculler whose promising future is derailed by a family scandal. Forced to relocate to the East Coast with her Mom (Jessica Paré), Teagan hopes to have a fresh start at the prestigious Easton Prep. But once there, she finds that she’s not just the outcast newcomer — she’s stuck on land. There’s no girls’ rowing team at Easton. Her only way onto the water? Taking the helm as coxswain for Easton’s notoriously chaotic boys’ varsity crew.
Thrown into a world of old money and ruthless competition, Teagan has to convince an entire team to trust her leadership — and each other. As she fights to reclaim her rowing dreams, manage the chaos of the crew, and navigate her family’s growing troubles, Teagan finds herself drawn into a rivalry of her own. She winds up caught between the arrogant team captain, Josh Regis (Samuel Braun), and Cam Dillinger (Kyle Clark), a quiet but fiercely determined local who refuses to be underestimated.
