Heated Rivalry stars mingle with fans in WeHo as HBO/Crave confirm season 2 renewal
Heated Rivalry stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams sent fans into a frenzy last month during a surprise appearance in West Hollywood’s Rainbow District. The actors, who play rivals-turned-lovers Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov in the hit HBO/Crave drama, were seen mingling at Hi Tops and The Abbey.
Choosing to skip the VIP section, the duo reportedly joined fans for games and photos, showcasing an off-screen chemistry that mirrored their viral onscreen dynamic.
In related news—HBO and Crave have officially renewed Heated Rivalry for a second season.
While Season 1 focused on the intense, decade-long secret rivalry and hidden romance between Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, Season 2 will shift focus to Reid’s sequel novel, The Long Game.
The new season will explore Shane and Ilya as they navigate being an established couple while balancing their careers in the professional hockey world.
Projected release: late 2026 or early 2027.
