Hawaii's Auli'i Cravalho lands a lead role in a big Netflix adaptation, good news for her career and for local fans.

• Cravalho, the voice of Moana, will play Lola in Netflix's college hockey romance Icebreaker.
• The show is based on Hannah Grace's bestselling novel, the first in the Maple Hills trilogy, which has sold millions of copies.
• The story follows a figure skater chasing Olympic gold and a hockey player chasing the NHL after their teams are forced to share one rink.
• October theaters are crowded too, with a Rolling Loud comedy, Aaron Sorkin's Social Network follow-up, a Street Fighter adaptation, and DC's Clayface.
• The New York Times released its 100 best TV shows of the century, topped by Breaking Bad, The Wire, and Mad Men.

Outlook: Icebreaker is still in casting, so expect more names attached before a release date is set.
