    Meet the Cast of Crew Girl, Your Latest Netflix Obsession

    Watch: Crew Girl Cast Reveals the Grueling Training Process for Netflix Show

    You don’t have to set your alarm for 5 a.m. to row with Crew Girl, but you’re going want to get onboard early with Netflix’s new YA romance series.

    Even if you don’t know a sweep from a scull, there will be a love triangle to pick a side from involving Miku Martineau‘s Teagan—who’s seeking a fresh start at tony Easton Prep after a family scandal—and two members of the boys’ varsity crew team, which she joins because there is no girls’ team.

    And while Teagan is charmed in dueling ways by cocky team captain Josh (Sam Braun) and quietly driven Cam (Kyle Clark), there’s going to be a lot of rowing action, which the actors trained diligently to pull off in convincing fashion.

    “Rowing is a sport that involves so much emotion and so much tension,” Martineau told E! News’ Erin Lim Rhodes ahead of Crew Girl‘s Sept. 10 premiere, “and respect and communication. All of those things are great qualities of a coming-of-age story.”

    And the 21-year-old Toronto native didn’t just play the new girl in town.

    “So much of the cast are based out of Vancouver,” Braun shared with E!, “so we all knew each other before starting the show. I feel like that’s a really special chemistry.”

    Martineau quickly interjected, “I didn’t know any of them.”

    That being said, she added, “everybody showed up with a great attitude and down to be friends.”

    And whether or not the whole cast ends up joining Braun on an ultramarathon one day—”I think this guy might have carried over the athletic lifestyle most,” Clark quipped of his co-star’s new hobby—they’ve had a blast getting to know each other.
