Move over hockey, new rowing romance 'Crew Girl' is coming to Netflix

Hockey has been dominating the romance genre with popular series such as Heated Rivalry and Off Campus - but as both shows are currently in production for their second seasons, we're *momentarily* hanging up our ice skates...

... and swapping them for oars, as the upcoming Netflix series Crew Girl promises "rowing, romance and rivalry."

The show set in competitive world of high school rowing follows Teagan Tao, a talented 16-year-old single sculler whose life is turned upside due to a family scandal.

As a result, she's forced to relocate to the East Coast and start over but there's no girls rowing team at the prestigious Easton Prep and so the only option is to become coxswain of the school's dysfunctional 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," the plot synopsis reads.

"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, and Cam Dillinger, a quiet but fiercely determined local who refuses to be underestimated."
