Netflix is moving forward with the development of Winter Games, a new romantic comedy that will star Hailee Steinfeld and Miles Teller. Filming for the movie is expected to begin in Montreal, Canada, in March 2027, according to reports on the project.
The film is directed by Paul Downs Colaizzo, known for Brittany Runs a Marathon, who also co-wrote the script with Pat Cunnane, a writer for Designated Survivor. The production is handled by Tim and Trevor White, Oscar-nominated producers for King Richard, through their company Star Thrower Entertainment.
