"That's right: The gay guys who play hockey are coming back. Hollander? Of course. Rozanov? You'd better believe it. "Heated Rivalry represents the very best of what Canadian creators can deliver: rich characters, compelling drama, and a world audiences want to live in," said Justin Stockman, the vice-president of content and programming for Bell Media, though he seemed to conveniently leave out "great-looking butts" and "kissing." On HBO Max's Twitter, however, stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie celebrated with an unboxing video."
"Right in time for the holidays, the two unwrap a very festive-looking package carrying a puck that reads "season two" on it. There's something charmingly low-budget about the whole affair, devoid of splashy graphics or teasers about what's to come and instead foregrounding the excitement of the stars. Storrie's face legitimately looks like the :D emoji, which is crazy because Rozanov never looks like that."
Heated Rivalry was renewed for a second season on December 12, confirming the return of the central gay hockey characters. The renewal highlights returning figures such as Hollander and Rozanov, maintaining the series' blend of sports, romance, and ensemble drama. The show was described as exemplifying strong Canadian creation, noted for rich characters, compelling drama, and an immersive world. Promotional activity included a low-budget, festive unboxing featuring a puck labeled "season two," prioritizing cast excitement over flashy teasers. Season two will draw from existing continuation material and promotional teases promise a steamier, longer installment summarized by the phrase "hotter, wetter, longer."
