Season 2 of Heated Rivalry is officially on the way, with creator Jacob Tierney confirming on Thursday's edition of CBS Mornings that filming will begin in August ahead of a planned April 2027 release, keeping fans guessing over whether Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie's star‑crossed characters will finally stay together or be torn apart again. Tierney appeared on the US breakfast show alongside executive producer Brendan Brady and said the hit hockey romance would return to screens 'as soon as humanly possible.'
Heated Rivalry has become an unexpected breakout for Canadian streamer Crave and HBO Max in the US, turning leads Williams and Storrie into overnight fan favourites. The series, adapted from Rachel Reid's Game Changers novels, only had its second season confirmed in December, before the first run had even finished airing, after executives concluded the show was performing far beyond cautious expectations.
