"Even in the midst of a busy festive season, Heated Rivalry became a holiday unto itself. Viewers tuned in early every Friday to watch the hockey opponents Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov take their connection from passionate fling - lovers, even if Shane hates the term - to a close and enduring relationship. The show's first season finale left Shane and Ilya in a good place, but it won't stop there: Heated Rivalry Season 2 is officially on the way."
"While there's no specific release date for Heated Rivalry Season 2, production on the first season moved quickly, and it sounds like the next will, too. Tierney hinted at the timeline in an interview with Entertainment Weekly. "It will not be same time next year, but it'll be pretty soon after that," he said. "It's not gonna be two years. It's not even gonna be 18 months, I don't think. So we're gonna go as fast as we can, while ensuring that we're doing as good a job as we possibly can.""
Heated Rivalry concluded its first season with Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov in a positive place and secured an early renewal for Season 2. The series drew large viewership, becoming the No. 1 show on HBO Max as of writing. Creator Jacob Tierney has not yet begun writing the new season but plans to draw from Rachel Reid's expansive Game Changers novels, using The Long Game as the Season 2 roadmap. Production on Season 1 moved quickly, and Tierney signaled that Season 2 will follow within a faster-than-usual timeframe, aiming for quality while accelerating the schedule.
