Heated Rivalry is taking the internet by storm and there looks to finally be some good news for UK fans desperate to watch it.
Thanks to the electric chemistry and explicit scenes between leads Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, the Canadian LGBTQ+ sports romance has got people talking and is quickly growing in popularity – with some of its more NSFW clips doing the rounds on social media.
Based on the novel of the same name by Rachel Reid, the show follows the secret and burgeoning romance between hockey rivals Shane Hollander (Williams) and Ilya Rozanov (Storrie).
Speaking about how he clicked “instantly” with Williams during the audition process, Storrie — who plays Ilya Rozanov, a Russian-American player for the Boston Raiders — recently recounted to Out Magazine: “Hudson was the third actor that I read with.
"The first two I was like, ‘Okay, this is cool,’ and then Hudson came on. Jacob actually texted me directly and was like, ‘What do you think?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, Hudson, for sure.’ Instantly."
Williams, who plays Montreal Metros pro Shane Hollander, said: "I read with one other possible Ilya, and it was good. But something about Connor… There was an inexplicable X-factor that just felt realer than what I thought it could possibly be."
He added: "And that was something. I had a quote I told Jacob, at one point, about my read with Connor in particular."
On casting the pair, creator Jacob Tierney told Deadline: “This show lives and dies with them, so we needed to make sure that this worked together. There are terrific actors who are in, you know… They’re just in different shows. You need to find the people who are going to be together in the same show, and that’s what the two of them had quite instantly."
With that in mind, fans across the globe might be wondering how they can watch the sports drama. If that's you, read on for all the latest streaming options.
