“Heated Rivalry” creator Jacob Tierney didn’t have to worry about fans visiting the filming locations for Season 1, since nobody had heard of the Canadian romance series before it blew up on HBO Max. Now, he’s asking
super fans of the massively popular show to give the cast and crew space as they begin shooting Season 2.
“To our incredible fans and everyone who’s been sharing in the excitement for the show: Your support, enthusiasm, and kindness have meant the world to us. As we gear up for more ‘Heated Rivalry,’ please help us in making it the best it can be,” Tierney wrote. “If you happen to come across one of our filming locations, please give our cast and crew the space they need to do what they do best. We promise it’ll be worth the wait! Your ‘Heated Rivalry’ Family.”
After Season 1 of “Heated Rivalry” premiered in late 2025, the show became a smash hit and turned stars Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie — who play Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, two hockey stars turned lovers — into overnight sensations. Season 2 has begun filming in Toronto and is expected to premiere in April 2027.
