"Tierney said "we did not expect this level of reaction to this show." He also said, "I thought by the end maybe we'd have a cult following." Discussing the show Letterkenny that he worked on previously the showrunner said he was used to "a slow burn," with that show taking four seasons to find its audience. "This has been the complete opposite," he remarked of Heated Rivalry."
"There's certainly a lot of enthusiasm from fans, but it's great to hear there's enthusiasm from decision makers too. To that Tierney added, "It's definitely not going unnoticed that the show is doing well and that people seem to be responding to it. And there's a sequel book, right?" Heated Rivalry is just one of Rachel Reid's novel series, Game Changers, with other books focusing on other characters. So, there's plenty of room for the world of Heated Rivalry to expand."
Heated Rivalry is a Canadian series starring Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie as rival hockey players Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov who engage in a steamy affair. The series debuted on 28 November and is available only in Canada, the US, and Australia with no current UK streaming plans. Social media response has been strong, with fans sharing images and clips and decision-makers reportedly enthusiastic. Showrunner Jacob Tierney said he did not expect such a reaction and contrasted the rapid success with the slow burn of Letterkenny. Tierney indicated substantial enthusiasm for another season and noted source material from Rachel Reid's Game Changers offers expansion opportunities.
