New gay series The Prince's First Love goes viral
"While fans are waiting for the new episode of Heated Rivalry to drop, some have turned to The Prince's First Love, but for very different reasons. The series - streaming on Reel Short and made for vertical, mobile viewing - went viral on X, after some viewers made joking comparisons to Heated Rivalry. However, instead of ice hockey, the new show focuses on royalty, hence some funny Red, White and Royal Blue comments."
""Lucas never expected to kiss a prince - least of all in front of the entire school. What began as a feud with Prince Nicholas turned into a forced friendship, and that into something far more complicated. "Every glance, every brush of hands, pulls them closer... but Nicholas is torn between his royal duty and his growing feelings for the boy he once called an enemy. "Neither dares to speak the truth - until the moment it can't be hidden.""
""Oh Heated Rivalry's got some competition," one user jokingly posted on X (Twitter) with a clip of the show. The post now has over 24,000 likes. 'Temu Julie Andrews is killing me' Then, they followed the post up with "Temu Julie Andrews is killing me lmao" about the show's queen character. While some else declared: "So unrealistic, give me six seasons." Another commenter on a Reddit post about the show noted: "Oooh looks interesting. It's giving discounted RWRB.""
The Prince's First Love streams on Reel Short and is formatted for vertical mobile viewing. The show stars Andrew Tong as Prince Nicholas Valehart and Greg Duffy as Lucas Wilder, with Duffy previously appearing in GoodShort's vertical LGBTQ+ series Straight Until He Kissed Me. The plot follows Lucas and Nicholas as a feud becomes a forced friendship and then a hidden romance, complicated by Nicholas's royal duties. The series comprises 71 episodes, nine currently available, with each episode running only a few minutes. The show went viral on X after viewers jokingly compared it to Heated Rivalry, generating posts and comments referencing a queen character and discounted Red, White and Royal Blue vibes. Viewers also noted subtle embedded references such as a familiar-looking high school.
