"While season one of the critically-acclaimed, viral series is still airing - the season finale is set to air on 26 December - the creatives behind the show recently confirmed that it would be coming back for a second season. Based on the Game Changers novel series by Rachel Reid, which currently features six books, there's plenty of potential Heated Rivalry plots for Tierney to get his teeth into."
"Yet speaking to Variety recently, the director confirmed that it's highly unlikely that viewers will be seeing season two in 2026. "It can't be [the] same time next year, because this time last year I'd written five of these [episodes], and this time this year I've written zero of them," Tierney said. "So it's going to be a little bit later, but it's still going to be soon.""
"Tierney is keen to ensure that the gap between season one and two of Heated Rivalry isn't long enough to cause such issues, but not so short that the quality of the writing and filmmaking is diminished. "We understand that everybody's goal is to not do two years between seasons," he said. "And at the same time, I don't want to put out a rushed sh***y second season just because the show is very popular.""
Season one of Heated Rivalry is still airing, with the season finale set for 26 December. The series has been confirmed for a second season but that return is unlikely to arrive in 2026. The show is based on the Game Changers novels by Rachel Reid, which currently include six books and provide substantial plot potential. Director Jacob Tierney said he has written no season-two episodes so far and expects a later production timeline. Tierney emphasized avoiding a rushed second season and minimizing gaps that age actors or harm storytelling. Creative partners remain enthusiastic and the production is returning to work.
