"Heated Rivalry" was made in Canada because US execs wanted to tone down the gay sex - LGBTQ Nation
""Sex is character development; it's not just a random sex scene in every episode. Central characters Shane and Ilya learn about each other, and they learn about themselves through their intimate encounters.""
""He decided to go back to Canada, and kudos to Crave, who had the courage to welcome the full project. For me, that's a great example of not being Hollywood and being authentic.""
Heated Rivalry, a series based on Rachel Reid's hockey romance novels, was initially set to be produced by an American platform. However, showrunner Jacob Tierney faced restrictions on explicit content, which he deemed essential for character development. The unnamed platform's request to delay a key scene was unacceptable to Tierney, leading him to relocate the project to Canada. Canadian streamer Crave embraced the series, allowing it to maintain its authenticity and creative vision.
