Crave's 'Heated Rivalry' Ordered for Two More Seasons and a Movie

· Entertainment · Canada

Crave's hockey romantic drama "Heated Rivalry," starring Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams, has been ordered for two more six-episode seasons plus a feature film, according to Deadline. The pickup means the popular series will shoot seasons 2 and 3 and a movie, an unusually large commitment for a show whose second season had not yet aired. The package gives the Canadian streamer a multi-year franchise around one of its most-watched titles.

Why it matters：A streamer betting two seasons and a film on a series before its second season airs shows how platforms now build franchises around proven audiences rather than one-season tests.

Key points

  • The show stars Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams.
  • Two six-episode seasons plus a film are planned.
