HBO Max Australia has doubled down on one of this year’s breakout imports, locking in the local rights to season two of Heated Rivalry—the Canadian drama that’s been building a loyal following on both sides of the Pacific.
Based on Rachel Reid’s bestselling Game Changers novels, the series is produced by Accent Aigu Entertainment in association with Bell Media’s Crave, and created by award-winning writer-director Jacob Tierney.
The show charts an eight-year saga of ambition, rivalry and forbidden love between hockey stars Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov, unfolding across six tightly produced episodes.
