Nearly a year after debuting on Netflix, Geek Girl has been greenlit to walk the runway into a second season that’s due out in 2026.

This renewal comes hand in hand with a significant transition behind the scenes as well. Toronto’s Boat Rocker Media has acquired the series from Corus Entertainment, which has notably been battling major economic challenges.

Boat Rocker will now oversee global distribution and franchise management for Geek Girl, as well as co-producing season two with existing UK-based production partner RubyRock Pictures. Filming is set to kick off across the pond this summer  under the guiding hand of EPs including Jeff Norton and Geek Girl author Holly Smale.

Norton—who played a big role in bringing this literary IP to life on screen—shared his excitement about the renewal with Kidscreen. “I’m really happy that the audience will get to spend more time with Harriet Manners,” the teen lead character who takes her first steps into the world of high fashion after getting discovered as a model in season one.

“We want to give fans of the show and the books more of what they love, while also making sure that we don’t just repeat season one,” Norton notes. “That’s always the challenge with a second season—how do you keep things core to the creative essence of what the show is, while also advancing the story and developing the characters.”

While he can’t divulge any details about the plot of season two under NDA with Netflix, Norton hints at a storyline that will pick up as Harriet matures. “Now she’s both a student and a model, [so she’s] trying to navigate both of those things.”

Geek Girl season one has performed well since debuting on Netflix last May. It spent a month on the streamer’s Global Top 10 list of English-language TV shows, as well as cracking into the Top 10 in 89 countries. The show had a global launch—with the exception of Canada, where Corus-owned STACKTV exercised first-window rights for five months before Netflix Canada started streaming it in November. There will be no such holdback with season two.

Norton is also showrunning a skating-centric teen drama called Finding Her Edge (eight x 44 minutes), which is currently filming close to Toronto and destined to eventually air on both Netflix and Family Channel.
