Heated Rivalry Officially Scores Season 3 Renewal and a Movie as Filming Plans Accelerate
More seasons and a movie
Heated Rivalry has been renewed for Season 3 ahead of the start of its second season. Deadline reported that Seasons 2 and 3 are being filmed back to back, and that a movie is in development.
The series premiered last year and has already secured a second season. The additional season and film mark further expansion for the hockey romance story.
A romance between rivals
Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie star as rival hockey players in the Crave original. The two characters pursue success in a notoriously aggressive sport while developing unexpected romantic feelings for each other.
Their relationship creates complications in their personal lives and hockey careers. HBO’s U.S. distribution helped the show rise in popularity, where it frequently topped streaming charts and competed with House of the Dragon and The Pitt.
Production schedule and cast
Filming for Seasons 2 and 3 is expected to finish as early as this month, or by early December at the latest, according to Deadline. Movie production is moving quickly, with filming expected to start in December after the seasons wrap.
Deadline also reported that Williams and Storrie will not appear in the movie. The report’s final sentence is incomplete, so it provides no further explanation about the film’s cast.
