The producers of the Zero Chill series wanted to cast real skaters for the series, as it brought “authenticity” that “CGI trickery” could not. Despite their skating experience, all actors were sent to a training program for nine weeks prior to filming. Executive producer Angelo Abella said the cast wanted to try out both sports, so that we ice skaters could play ice hockey and vice versa.

Dakota Benjamin Taylor now explained that for ice skating scenes, performers were not allowed to jump on the ice. After the producers met Team GB figure skating coach David Hartley, the general manager of Ice Sheffield, where Hartley works, he was offered the opportunity to film the series there. When the cast members went to training, they were able to watch professional figure skaters training, as well as the Sheffield Steelers.
