The online communities have been in a constant buzz since the release of Heated Rivalry season 1 on Crave Canada on November 28, 2025. The chemistry between the two actors made this gay drama worthy of worldwide attention.

The promotions over the show lead up to the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics on February 6th, where the two actors served as torchbearers, the perfect assignment for the ice-hockey playing stars of the show.

The rivalry on the ice and revelry in the bedroom brought millions of viewers across the globe, including in countries where gay shows are completely forbidden. Ultimately, Heated Rivalry became Crave’s most-viewed original series ever and the second-most “in-demand” TV show globally, according to Parrot Analytics, a data firm popular in America, Australia, and the Philippines.

Fans cannot wait for the second season of Heated Rivalry. According to one of the actors, Storrie, the second season’s filming is expected to begin in the summer or fall of 2026. Stay tuned for more news on your favorite TV shows!
