.@DEADLINE: โHeated Rivalryโ Execs Giving Jacob Tierney โThe Time He Needs To Make Another Beautiful Seasonโ Of The Ice-Hockey Drama
โBell Media senior execs Justin Stockman and Carlyn Klebuc told Deadline that Season 2 of the gay ice hockey breakout drama is still scheduled to return to Canadian streamer Crave in spring 2027, with production set to begin later this year. HBO and a host of international networks and streamers are already on board.
Stockman, Bellโs VP of Global Content, has previously teased a bonus episode of Heated Rivalry could fill the gap between Heated Rivalry Season 1, which launched in late 2025, and the second run, but thereโs no word on that right now. As for Season 2, โThe scripts are coming together really well and I donโt think anyone will be disappointedโ, said Stockman.
Klebuc, Bellโs General Manager of Original Programming, admitted, โWe would have liked it faster, but Jacob is writing and directing, and he needs the time to make another beautiful season, which weโre confident he will do.โ
As audiences and internet fans eagerly wait for the show, gobbling up any update, Klebuc noted that โcompared with something like Euphoria, which took years and years, this is pretty quick turnaround.โโ
