Fans of the hit drama Heated Rivalry have reason to celebrate! The Canadian show has been renewed for a second season after quickly becoming a viral sensation since its release last month. It tells the story of a romance between two hockey players.
UK viewers hoping to watch the show have been waiting for news about when and where season one will be available, but so far, there’s been no official announcement about a UK broadcaster or streaming service picking it up.
Although it hasn’t been officially confirmed yet, a recent report offers a positive sign for those in the UK who are interested in learning more.
What to Read Next
Several UK companies are reportedly interested in buying the company, and a deal is expected to happen very soon, according to Deadline.
Many people thought the show would be available on HBO Max when it launches in the UK in March 2026, as it’s already streaming there in the US and Australia.
According to Deadline, this is the streaming service that will carry the show in Europe soon, though it won’t be available in the UK, Ireland, Spain, or Turkey just yet.
The show is available on Crave in Canada, and they just announced it’s been renewed for a second season! They shared the exciting news on the show’s Instagram with a post saying, “Screaming, crying, throwing up! #HeatedRivalry is confirmed for SEASON 2!”
On X, formerly known as Twitter, it’s safe to say the news has gone down very well.
One person expressed their gratitude, saying, “Thank you so much for the early Christmas gift!” Another celebrated with a simple, enthusiastic, “We did it, everyone!”
Inspired by Rachel Reid’s Game Changers series, Heated Rivalry tells the story of Shane and Ilya, two competitive hockey players who appear to be enemies on the ice, but are secretly in love.
The film has been well-received by critics, earning a 95% score on Rotten Tomatoes. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Heated Rivalry blends humor with a genuinely passionate love story for adults. The review compares it to Challengers rather than The Cutting Edge, noting it avoids the complicated love triangle seen in the latter.
RogerEbert.com praised Heated Rivalry as a refreshing standout among recent LGBTQ+ TV shows, noting that many others are too cautious. They also highlighted it as one of the most genuinely enjoyable shows of the year, beyond its cultural significance and lasting impact.
Okay, so I’m already planning my Christmas TV marathon, and I just found this awesome Good Housekeeping Christmas TV Guide! It’s got listings for a full 14 days of festive shows, which is exactly what I need to make sure I don’t miss anything. It’s only £4.75 and you can grab it at Morrisons, TG Jones, or pretty much any magazine shop. Definitely picking one up to get fully prepared for some serious Christmas couch time!
