What is ‘Heated Rivalry’ Season 2 about?
Season 2 adapts the second book in Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series, The Long Game, which picks up with Shane and Ilya 10 years into their relationship. The season will also draw elements from Reid’s fifth book, Role Model. Smith and Gillespie star in the new season alongside Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, who broke out in Season 1 as Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander. Season 1 followed the two hockey players through a secret relationship that, per the show’s logline, became “a years-long journey of love, denial and self-discovery.”
Jacob Tierney created the series and serves as writer, director and executive producer, alongside Brendan Brady and Jayme Alter Wilson. Lori Fischburg and Liane Cunje produce, with Reid serving as consulting producer and Mike Goldbach co-writing Season 2. The series is produced by Accent Aigu Entertainment in association with Bell Media’s Crave.
