Skins star Kaya Scodelario tipped to replace Emma Roberts in Netflix Ice Skating drama Spinning Out
The "edgy" series is about a professional figure skater in the midst of a breakdown
Kaya Scodelario, best known as Effie from Skins, has been tipped to play the lead in new Netflix ice skating drama Spinning Out, replacing Emma Roberts, who exited the project back in October due to a scheduling conflict.
The drama, described as "edgy" by Netflix, is set in the world of competitive figure skating. Scodelario is being lined up to play Kat Baker, reports Deadline, a former professional skater who resorts to pair dancing with a "talented bad-boy" partner after a disastrous fall derails her solo career.

Spinning Out is expected to debut on Netflix in 2019
