Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams as Ilya Rosanov and Shane Hollander in Heated Rivalry S01E04 / Crave
A third season and a movie special of Heated Rivalry are being filmed back to back with the current second season, it has emerged.
The steamy drama, which follows the relationship between rival male ice hockey players Ilya (Connor Storrie) and Shane (Hudson Williams), was a global hit when it was released at the end of last year.
A second season was quickly ordered, with filming getting underway in August – and now Deadline says that filming is actually taking place for seasons two and three.
Each of those two seasons will run to six episodes, with season two expected to be released starting from April 2027.
Additionally, the publication says that a feature-length movie is also being filmed for release in cinemas in December 2027, although neither Storrie nor Williams will be involved.
The spinoff film is thought to focus on another gay couple on the show, Scott (Francois Arnaud) and Kip (Robbie GK), possibly based on author Rachel Reid’s short story Merry Christmas, Scott and Kip!
Filming is expected to wrap up in mid-December.
