About Heated Rivalry

Will There Be A “Heated Rivalry” Season 2 In 2026?

Heated Rivalry premiered on November 28, 2025 on Crave, with international distribution via HBO Max (U.S. & Australia), Sky (New Zealand), and Movistar+ (Spain).

Current Status: RENEWED FOR SEASON 2

On December 12, 2025 Crave renewed Heated Rivalry for Season 2 following a successful launch. The second season will also air in the U.S. and a number of international regions on HBO Max.

The series is adapted from Heated Rivalry, the second novel in Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series. Notably, the show has been publicly described by its creators as a limited series, though the early success of the first season made renewal a no-brainer.

Originally created for Canadian streaming service Crave by award-winning Canadian writer-director-producer Jacob Tierney (Letterkenny, Shoresy), Heated Rivalry chronicles the story of rival hockey players Shane and Ilya. Shane Hollander (Hudson Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Connor Storrie) are two of the biggest stars in Major League Hockey, bound by ambition, rivalry, and a magnetic pull neither of them fully understands. What begins as a secret fling between two fresh-faced rookies evolves into a years-long journey of love, denial, and self-discovery. Over the next eight years, the pair chase glory on the ice while struggling to navigate their feelings off it. Torn between the sport they live for and the love they can’t ignore, Shane and Ilya must decide if there is room in their fiercely competitive world for something as fragile and as powerful as real love.
