Adam Rippon to Produce Figure Skating Comedy Series in Development at NBC

Rippon and Susan Kittenplan co-created the series and developed the story, with both serving as executive producers. Billy Finnegan is also a co-creator and is attached to write the script and executive produce. 20th Television will produce.

Set in the off-the-wall world of adult figure skating, the series is said to tackle the oversized ambitions, underwhelming talent and boundless heart as one woman fights her family, failing knees and every other skater on the ice. Rippon formally retired from competition in 2018 after competing in the 2018 Winter Olympics. He consistently ranked as one of the top skaters in the world during his career, winning gold medals at events like the Four Continents Championships and the World Junior Championships. He went on to win Season 26 of “Dancing with the Stars” at ABC.Kittenplan is a media executive, editor, and writer.

As an adult figure skater, I’m concerned.

Can’t wait!

no no no no no! Horrible idea.

I just hope it’s not bashing adult figure skaters. If we’re in on the joke, that’s one thing. If we are the joke, that’d be unfortunate

Gonna be one dark comedy

Oh yes

i really hope this series wont be mocking adult skaters. figure skating as a sport already has enough of a problem with discouraging longevity and exploiting young athletes and treating them like theyre disposable after reaching a certain age

👏👏👏

SkatingLesson JonathanBeyer81 have you seen this? amazing! 🧐🧐🧐

NBC give us actual competitions before you give us this. You give us 2 hour highlights with commentary instead of full competitions. And then you have the audacity to lock live streams behind a pay wall!! Give us the actual sport before you make parodies of it👏

WUT

yeah no

So excited!

The 'Strictly Ballroom' of skating is it?😜

Failing knees. I feel very seen. AdamRippon rockerskating
