My Perfect Landing

My Perfect Landing is a Canadian pre-teen drama series. It follows a family of gymnasts through their struggles of dealing with a life-changing move from Miami to Toronto, Canada. The series was created by Frank van Keeken, the creator of The Next Step and Lost & Found Music Studios,[1][2] who also co-wrote the opening episode, "Changes", with Lyndon Casey; as well as writing the thirteenth and fifteenth installments, titled "Ready for Battle" and "Hillside - Part Two" respectively. The series premiered on Family Channel on January 8, 2020, airing 15 episodes through April 22, 2020. It aired on CBBC in the United Kingdom, and was released internationally on Netflix on August 1, 2020.[3]

The last episode of My Perfect Landing, "Hillside – Part Two", ended on a cliffhanger, which was to have led into an already planned second season. Unfortunately, this was never produced due to TV production across Canada being unexpectedly shut down due to COVID-19; and therefore the cliffhanger ending remains to this day tantalizingly unresolved.
