January Jones has joined the cast of Netflix’s Spinning Out.
The Mad Men alumna is tapped to play a lead role opposite Kaya Scodelario. Jones will play Carol Baker, the mother of Kat (Scodelario) and Serena (Willow Shields).
The official longline for the upcoming figure skating drama reads: “When Kat seizes an opportunity to continue her career as a pair skater with a talented bad-boy partner, she risks exposing a fiercely kept secret that could unravel her entire life. On and off the ice, Kat and her new partner will face daunting odds, injury to body and soul, financial sacrifice, and even potential mental breakdown on their way to realizing their Olympic dream.”
According to Deadline, Carol is a former figure skater who had to give up on her dreams when she became pregnant with her oldest daughter at a young age. Carol fiercely pushes both her girls to become Olympians in order to fulfill the dream she could never achieve herself. Simultaneously, she struggles with personal demons that threaten to ruin her relationship with her daughters.
Johnny Weir, Sarah Wright Olsen, Will Kemp, Kaitlyn Leeb, Amanda Zhou, and Mitchell Edwards round out the cast.
